Well, he's wanting 600.00 cash , I own a bushmaster xm-15, and was wondering if the assault rifle was as dependable as my xm-15.It' looks to be in pretty good shape. And I was thinking about getting rid of the CEMTE,because
I already got 2 M1A's.

Sounds like he's offering you $300 for the CETME and 10 mags.  I'd be insulted. $200 for the rifle, $10 per mag?

Sorry, but what does CEMTE mean?

I had one...
Look inside it VERY CAREFULLY and see if its full of M16 parts. (Hammer, etc). Mine was.

If it is, then I'd pass. BATF takes a dim view of M16 parts in a semi-auto rifle...although I've heard that its not illegal.

Mine was a decent shooter, but it doubled alot so I got rid of it. (sold it to a blind guy at a gun show) Honest.

Good point.  Call BM and find out if they sell parts for the old rifle as well.

Definetly keep the rifle. Don't sell or trade any of your guns!

Not to be a hijack, BUT what is the quality of this CETME and is this a good price?:

I've owned a couple of these B/M's over the years - one fixed stock and one folder.  [b]Please note that if you want to use a scope that it is virtually impossible.  Yes, there's a Russian claw-mount job but that really mars your rifle.[/b]  Something like trying to scope an HK - painful !!
