Introduction and question.

[Tom Lambert]

Hello all.
I am new to this forum and the CETME rifle. I got my CETME in a trade.
I am a retired Electronics Manufacturing Engineer. I am 63.
My interests, Other than Military Weapons, is Ham and CB Radio, flying RC Helicopters, metal detecting, computers, making Native American Flutes and other stuff.
Now back to the main subject. Can anyone please tell me the best places, other than eBay, Gun Parts Guy, and the fruitless web searches, to get parts for the CETME.
I am mainly looking for an affordable, I am disabled, non wood forearms and scope mounts.
Any help anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Tom, Welcome!!

As for plastic fore arms for the cetme, there are the HK variants, which use a hk pin, but you may have compliance issues. The G-3/HK91 forearms will fit but dont use the same screw as the cetme to hold them on, they use the hk pin. There are links on this site if you need to fit a hk wide fore arm, as they interfere with the barrel slightly(bipod mount I beleive for the cetme has a raised rib on the bottom of the barrel. If you have wood forearm on your rifle you can just swap out if the rest of the rifle meets 922r compliance for us made parts. The century forearm is out there too in plastic but if you can meet compliance the hk forestock is much nicer with a heat sheld built in and they are darn cheap too.

Scope mounts are out there and vary from model to model, you might do a search here on them. The low mount swat types seem to be better for the out of spec century receivers, but there is plenty of reading on that here and others will chime in for sure.

As for other parts, Makarov.com has had some, Robert/RTG parts has a good source of interchangeable hk G-3/cetme parts list too.
