Where to get NEW Cetme locking piece?

[jbone]

RTG says the HK G3 locking piece will not work in a Cetme. Apex has used locking pieces. Any place to get new ones, or make an HK piece work?

Im working on 2 rifles with NO bolt gap. 1 bolt has been ground, the other hasnt. I tried what I thought were +4 rollers, but they miced at 8.00mm, and I belive they are standard size rollers. They have no markings on them at all, I got them from RTG.

SO I would like to try a new locking piece plus +4 rollers, and mabye a new bolt to replace the ground one.

What do you guys suggest?

thanks jason

That sounds good. Though I would replace one part at a time to see what you get, starting with a new bolt head. There is a guy on this forum that live in Spain that can get new CETME locking pieces. Can't remember his screen name though.

Try APEX for a locking piece.

I believe that's arnaiz

You should not use +4 rollers with a new bolt.Use a new bolt,locking piece and +2 rollers.See where you end up than?

Arnaiz has them. He is the only one I found that sells new never issued locking pieces. I just ordered one from him should be here Monday or tuesday. Jorge is his name and he is very trustworthy in my opinion. I have purchased several times from him and he has been prompt with delivery everytime. You can get his info from Gunbroker he advertises through out the Cetme add pages.

There's a guy on gun broker that has CETME parts. He's from Spain and was okay to deal with. I got a spare locking piece from him if I need it. van Loo is his call name. He might be the same guy form Spain mentioned in this thread.:rockon:

Same guy. Good man. The shipping is higher because it is overseas so I'd suggest getting several small parts like a firing pin, rollers of all sizes, the little ball bearings in the rear sight, etc. Folks are needing these all the time so keep them or sell them here.

A new locking piece may not help you on the bolt gap. I have tried once and did not change bolt gap at all. Locking piece should be much harder than rollers.

[Otis61]

a new locking piece did change my gap by a good little bit. Don't remember how much, but enough that it was worth it. But, start with the bolt head.

Plus One on Jorge.
