The 53 is chambered for 5.56. The CETME is .308. The PTR flat will work for it but you would need a .308 barrel. A 53k is a very short barrel also, 5.5"? I think. Are you wanting a short 12" .308 like a HK91k/ G3k? That would be a blaster

My mistake I meant the 51. Yeah the one I looked at was something ridiculous like 5.x"
Basically what I'm asking is as long as I use CETME trunion and bolt/carrier group, the HK 51 barrel should press into the trunion with no issues and theoretically everything should jive together.
I'm looking at doing a HK build to see if I can do one. I don't want to dive in the deep end and ruin an expensive kit is basically where I'm at.
To be real honest I'm trying to get a CETME L kit(extremely difficult to find
), but CETME C kits are cheap and could be fun to toy around with assuming the above works the way I think it will.
