Here's mine - Century Cetme LE, Century C91/G3 and Spanish FR-8.

Hey Rampager, what's the manufacturer on that big mag hanging out of the CETME - looks Spanish.

[Rampager]

Patria...It doesn't have any markings that I can see, but yeah I believe it to be a Spanish. I bought it off gunbroker a while back.

[kpd007]

My only HK type. Been looking for a good Cetme for some time. This is a PTR. I love it.

[Texxut]

It came to me as a Century Arms Black Widow. With the addition of some more US parts, she now wears some G3 wood.

Not sure why, but I think that is the nicest looking one on this thread. With the short barrel and the weathered wood that thing really is easy on the eyes. Nice.

Great 308 - nice looking rifles!!!

Was it difficult to get the bayonet lug onto the PTR? I've got the bits, been meaning to do it for a few months now.

[drine]

That's about the neatest non-traditional rig I've seen. I'm refering to the green-meany with the varmit scope. If you will permit me to comment, please contact Vectorarms and get yourself an HK triple-point sling for that doll. They were less than 20.00. There's no other way to improve what you have!

[HKfreak]

You all know it had to be done :p , and since it's my official first post, I'll start it off.

Here is my HK clone, a Vector V93.

She is one of my favorites as well, although, she currently is wearing a wide forend. She will shoot empty .223 cases with SA at 100yrds 9 out of 10 times. I have an HK 3 point on her now as well, I will take some fresh pics soon, and thank you for the kind words.

[Seattlefungus]

These are my 2 so far. Got some CETME kits and G3 FMP kits I really want to trick out.

[Optimus Prime]

Maybe tomorrow when I'm not at work I'll get around to taking a new picture of mine...

[drine]

I can't see any in these photos!! Well heck, I'll have to do that while I've got mine torn down.

Is your CETME going through an identity crisis or something? It looks like it's trying to be an AR, like it's dressed in drag or something. :)

Just kidding, it's different so I figured I would tease you and give you a hard time about it.

It's cool, I expected it.
Well at least I wasn't let down ... I figured it wouldn't take long for someone to say something to that extent.
But it's cool, I built it for me to shoot and to enjoy and most important to fit me.
Everyone's taste isn't the same. So it's all good.
But remember this when the termites come for all that wood.....:D

[drhall762]

Just got mine yesterday and it looks almost identicle to yours Vista461;

No, the gun is cool and I like it don't get me wrong. It's definitely different than the majority so that is cool too. I was mainly mocking those hard line people that like to say, "If you want an AR, why don't you just buy one". It wasn't my intent to sound like one of them :) It looks nice, I have a rifle that has a similar look to it color scheme wise with FDE Magpul furniture.

I just picked up one of the CTR's for my SBR I'm building.
I REALLY like those stocks.

I knew ya were picking too...:D My taste is weapons tends to make some want to scream BURN HIM!!! BURN THE HERETIC!!!

ETA: That's a Very nice AR too.

[The Great 308]

Great 308 - nice looking rifles!!!

Was it difficult to get the bayonet lug onto the PTR? I've got the bits, been meaning to do it for a few months now.

Thanks Patria Povo. The bayonet lug simply replaces the cocking tube end cap it is a very easy swap that takes about 2 min.

[Yoslick]

ETA: That's a Very nice AR too.

Thanks, it was my first attempt at building one. I have a post ban Bushy, one of their m4'gery/A2 mish-mash carbines and wanted something a little different.

Yeah the CTR is pretty nice. I was actually going to get a 93B because I liked the way they looked, but when I went down to Ameetec last July or August to buy my bare receivers one of the guys had a pre-production CTR on his rifle that he let me check out. It was lighter and just as sturdy with a $50-$60 lower price tag when you include the mil-spec buffer tube assembly. With the black butt pad setting it off, it kind of grew on me. The thing is really wobbly, but once you lock it down it's pretty strong.

Oh just so I don't get yelled at for talking AR on the CETME thread, I guess I can repost pics of my siblings (yet again :)) since this is a new forum.

Hmmm ... did you use a hex key to remove the end cap? Mine isn't budging and I don't wanna strip it by forcing it.

[magikarp]

Very nice looking rifles guys! I like 'em all!

Your CETME looks great!

[M1 Tanker]

http://samcoglobal.com/access.html they have 10 for $69.95 We did a group buy on these 3 or 4 years ago 10 for $50. I'll bet if you bought 10, someone would be in for the extra 2.

I'd be in for one too:thumbup:

[M1 Tanker]

Hold off on posting on the covers...he will start a thread on it.

So, is the CETME rifles forum gone for good now? What happened?

[WildBillCody]

Well here is one with a paddle, I just got mine back together after three years of being in peices, all new parts except for the barrel and the compliance parts, I have a new barrel, cocking tube, and triple tree I might put on one day. I have a matching wood forearm also, just thought I would stick the "B" model one on for awhile.

[snapshot762]

Here's my PTR.

The scope and rings are actually for my AR, I took this pic just to see if i could get by with a little lower rings on the PTR.

[jfowl31]

snapshot and Old dominion...

1. snapshot, where did you get that buttstock?

2. Old dominion, where did you get that new buttpad for the G3 plastic?

[snapshot762]

jfowl31, The stock is a Black Market Parts us made MSG90 model. I fitted it with a heavy two stage buffer. The Great 308 posted an exellent review of them in the reviews forum here.

[jfowl31]

I saw the great 308's post... I was hoping you had a cheaper knock-off on there or something that maybe I could afford.

It looks awesome! ME LIKEY!

[Allwater]

I like the "little black gun look, but I'm kinda missing the wood now. It was pretty beat up, so I ditched it for this plastic - you do not want to hear how I got the old buffer out = ouch?!?!

[jfowl31]

Buster... were you able to mount that claw mount on the stamped receiver and keep it from moving? If so, what was your secret... Id love to get a stamped model and be able to swap the scope back and forth.

[jfowl31]

but a sweet shooter and I've yet to experience a malfunction!

You're crazy... that rifle looks awesome.. I like the tigerstriping in the foreend.

[Sky Buster]

had to bust out a file and file little slivers off because it was to tight on the reciever causing it to jam

[The Great 308]

the "great 308" where did you get the brown ( orange ?) stock set? i would like a set of them.

Hello Planning, I bought a G3 parts kit from Interordinance a couple of years ago and it came with the brown furniture. I had never seen one of these before. Perro and RTG said the parts kit was from an unlicensed G3 made in Burma. I do not think that interordinance have any kits left. I have been very pleased with the overall quality of this parts kit it actually looks better than some of the licensed HK parts I have seen. I love to be able to have lots of different looks for my rifles.:g3:

By the way Ron I love the SKS-M and mags that I bought from you a year or so ago. It is a beautiful rifle and it runs perfectly!

[The Great 308]

WOW!!!! There are really a lot of great looking rifles on here I love them all from the restored original battle rifle look to the totally custom tactical look and everything in between.:g3:

jfowl31, your camo job looks really sweet and from your other posts I have seen that you and your rifle are both very acurate!:thumbup:

Thanks! Im gonna be painting one for Seattlefungus here pretty soon, and painting some others in some different configurations to sell on the board.

You want one?

[mprtech]

My meager CETME. I know, but its a CETME in G3 clothing.

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s138/mprtech/Picture001.jpg

[jfowl31]

mpr... what is that?

stamped receiver with a scope saddle... G3 rear sight... the front half looks like a cetme...

Is that one of the old Hesse models? Or just a cetme parts kit built on a G3 receiver?

[vpost]

this is mine

[mprtech]

I refer to it as my franken-CETME. It started out as a Black Widow with a junk barrel. I replaced the barrel with a CFS used one, then welded on a G3 base, swapped furniture, added a paddle, clipped and pinned a G3 frame and finally sandblasted and refinished in Moly Resin. Its the favorite of all my weapons.

[nightprowler311]

Its a ever evolvong rifle, always findiung something new to put on them.

[icarus]

Here´s my genuine Spanish Cetme-c built in Santa Bárbara in 1976 and sold in Spain by General Dinamics S.B. two months ago. (4,500 have been sold in Spain, the last cetmes in Santa Barbara´s stock)

[jfowl31]

DAMMMMMNNNNNN!!!!! thats REALLY nice! Since its built and sold in Spain, is it .307 win like another member's rifle here?

How much does that rifle set you back in spain?

Also, is that a Hendsoldt scope on there? Did the Spaniards make a similar scope mount or is the only option for optics to go with German stuff?

[icarus]

Yes, It´s a .307 but you can shoot .308 without any problem cause Spanish laws don´t alow .308 in semiautomatic guns, it´s a nonsense, they only made a 1mm drill in the diameter of the bolt and that´s all. Of course automatic funtion is not activated but nothing else. The price 700€, 800USD more or less.
The scope is a Tapco (a copy of the Hendsoldt) and work well, maybe 5 degrees canted I`d say, but it`s a #1 german reticle and no matter that canted. I shoot to 100m. on 50x50 cm. targets and I only see 9`s and 10`s I´ve never tried more distant cause here in Spain it`s difficult to find a larger shooting field.

[Triarii]

Is posibly that Cetme-L will be reformed to civil population.
Por cierto icarus ¿Eres Castellano? Ya seríamos dos, jejej

[icarus]

Yes, I do, from VA. The Cetme-L will be rebuild to .222 cause .223 it´s not allowed as you know here in Spain, but I think the rifle is pure rubbish. It`s the worst rifle that Spanish Army has had on duty in all Army History. In fact, has been replaced by HK G36. Made with cheap materials and It fails as a fair carbine. I would not want to have one though were a gift. Believe me, I have shot many times with it.

[Triarii]

The model-L of Cetme is bad because the materials are cheap, but the prototipes of CETME L was very good, the problem was the serie build. The best riffle is the CETME model C ´´El Chopo´´. I think that The CETME C is the best riffle.
We are neighbor. I´m from Palencia (Spain), In Palencia there is a Santa Bárbara factory.

[jfowl31]

Hey you 2.... Please explain to us guys here this question we've debated before.

Is the Cetme called "el chopo" because the wood is Poplar, or just simply because it has wood furniture?

Its kinda been an ongoing debate in this forum and the "old" one.

[oramoc]

here is a shot of mine hey i didnt get my big toe in this shot

[icarus]

The name of the chopo came of the Spanish mauser mod. 1893 and successive models that were made of wood. Soldiers called this rifle El chopo because of its wooden forniture and stockiness so when in 1964 cetme c was in duty the stock and handguard was made of wood, the old name "El chopo" was adapted again. Chopo is a Spanish tree It`s like Poplar or cottonwood in America. The word in our language means as an adjective sometimes, strong, tall and hard, so, we say " hey man, you're strong like a chopo" Ey hombre estás fuerte como un chopo ¡ I think this is the little story about " EL Chopo" At least an old and retired General told me. In reality the wood used to make mauser and Cetme-c is walnut not chopo.

[icarus]

and other friend who has made some changes in his cetme.

[rustypirate]

Yeah, I think we have seen some evidence of your friend's hunting skills already here.

[icarus]

I´m sorry for the pic as I said I don´t like hunting and I hope not to wound feelings. I consider this as a one pic more of the cetme not to brag of anything else. I love animals and not be able to shoot on them. I apologize for that Rustypirate.

[rustypirate]

No apology needed, I just mean that I think your friend is already a member here and I have seen theat hunting pic before.

That's interesting to know, thanks for the info icarus. I've always thought (wrongly) that the name El Chopo stemmed from a slang term used in an old 1930's gangster movie (can't remember which one) where they called their Tommy guns "Choppers". Being the Cetme is Spanish, I thought the two went together making "El Chopo". See...I learned something new today!:book:

[captred1968]

These are mine, one finished. 2 Cetme and 1 Hk in the process of being built. Also being built at this time is 4-fal's, 1-1919, 6-uzi's, 3-mini uzi's and others.

[hunter_la5]

Where did you get the furniture? Its sweet!

[M1Marksman]

Now wearing G3 wood, a G3 sling & a Shooter's Ridge bipod attached to a sling stud I mounted in the front bottom rivet hole. I have a red dot sight for her, but took it off last time I went shooting in bright sunlight. On my want list are a low scope mount & a flash hider.

[JayGeeWentWorth]

Well guys, I think I'm finally done with my cetme for the most part. Here's a picture of what it looked like when I got it:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/megaman590/P1110008.jpg

And what it looks like now:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/megaman590/P4210078.jpg

The main obvious changes are the furniture and the scope. However, I also got a new complete bolt assembly because of the problems I heard about with Century original ones. I took it to the range last week and it shoots very well and I am very happy with it.

I'd like to thank all of the members on this forum for their wealth of knowledge on these rifles and the personal advice some people have offered me when I have had a question, especially The Great .308 for the furniture. :thanks:

Here is a picture of mine I just finished her today. She did great. After initial firing the bolt gap is .016". She runs great with everything I fed her (Wolf, SA, Win, handloads)! I think I'm in love!

[jfowl31]

nice Grifter... I love how they look withthe fake 3rd pin... the wood turned out great. What did you use to finish off all the metal?

[grifter95]

jfowl31, the wood is finished with 12 coats of true oil (by hand, polishing b/t each) and the metal was blasted with 120grit AlumOxide then sprayed with Brownell's Teflon/Moly matte black and baked. It is amazing how the T/M can tells you how to use it. However, they also have a video guide available which tells you to use a totally different method. The video method is MUCH BETTER!

Hello all, new guy here. Just bought this CETME yesterday. I'm sure I'll have many questions. I've spent my time the last few years in Mosins and Enfields, along with S&W of course.
Actually, I've had the CETME a few days on trial. I also got a set of wood and a set of black stocks for it in the deal. I just thought i'd say hi from the Northern Shenandoah Valley of VA.:America:

nice lookin rifle. Be advised, you're probably not going to be able to keep that scope and mount still on that stamped receiver. If you do, you are one LUCKY SOB!!! WELCOME to the forums, we're happy to have you!

[hunter_la5]

interesting setup warrior, is that a barrel de-resonator on the barrel?

[jfowl31]

Looks good warrior...

I'm wondering the same thing HUnter is... whats the barrel thingy?

also, that scope would smack me in the forehead every single shot set so far back like that.

what are the optics?

[jfowl31]

also, gunnysmith.. what are the 2 rifles on the left of your pic?

and do you have any solo or closeups of that green guy?

[The Great 308]

interesting setup warrior, is that a barrel de-resonator on the barrel?

Dito inquiring minds want to know. Nice looking set up!:thumbup:

[Hoot]

One more question. Are those some kind of micro-holes in the handguard to improve barrel cooling? Were they drilled individually?

Hoot

[jfowl31]

I have a green G3 slim forend that has individual holes drilled inside those indents. I would assume it would cool better, but I've never used it.

wow! thats a nice one! Looks pretty cool with the 16" barrel.

Howd you get the gun wired up for AC power? jk, but when I first looked at the picture, it looked like the outlet was attached to the magazine...

Looks really nice... i wish I had one of those MARS repro pads.

[warriornfl1]

thanks for the kudos all.. Yes, thats my version of a barrel de-resonator. Seems to give my old eyes a little bit better accuracy. As for the optics, Bushnell Banner 4X12 40mm, and on top of the tri-mount is a Reflex 4 recticle pattern quick site for the up close shots...LOL. I had to re-paint the furniture {was very rough when I got it} used Aluma Hyde II, good stuff...

Very nice!!!!!! You should check out Williams trigger specialties. Denny does excellent work he has a set trigger, a PSG1 trigger and now an SG1 set trigger as well as his standard and contour trigger work. I have had two of his trigger jobs and i am getting ready to have two more done. I had one of his set trigger jobs it had 2.5 pounds of pull on set trigger. I am now going to get two of his SG1 triggers they also have 2.5 pounds of pull on set trigger and around 4.5 on SA.

That rifle is beautiful. Where did you get the stock and grip?

That is a Mag-Pul PRS2 stock. They look a lot like the PSG1 stock and they are very nice I have one. They cost $255 and you can get them for either the standard or MSG90 buffer.

Here is a reveiw of the stock:

Some more pics. My rifle without scope and minus cheekpiece for shooting the irons.
The first target pic: After sighting in, I shot to see how it would group. This is the first group I shot. 3 shots, cold barrel, 100 yards. It measures 0.42 center to center.
The second target pic: After shooting the above, I took the mount off the gun made an adjustment to the scope, and shot it a few times with the iron sights to warm it up good. Put mount back on and shot another 3 shot group. It measures 0.80 center to center.
All shooting was with SA Surplus. --Haven't had a chance to try it with some 168 match...

[97th Signalman]

I had a G3 while on TDY with the Bundeswehr when serving with the US Army in Germany 1960-63. That is why I wanted to have a CETME. This is my Century with Spanish wood added and some additonal US parts to trade off for the wood. I had the usual start up issues but after about a year of trial and error and a lot of help from guys on the old CETMERIFLE fourm she runs perfectly now with acceptable battlerifle accuracy (4-5 inch groups at 100 yards).

[mojojojo]

That's pretty nice wood. I would love to see a close up of your stock there Signalman.

[Windage and Elevation]

There is a process of burning the face of a wooden piece with a torch, and then steel brushing it before finishing to bring out the grain dramatically. Have any of you tried this with your Cetme (or any other stock)? It just seems that there is a lot of really pretty wood out there that is not as dramatic as it could be. This is a hell of a question to be coming from me, as I am a 'plastic' guy.... :eek:

[jfowl31]

Really, there' sjust not a whole lot of grain on the Cetme wood. Whatever wood it is, its grain is VERY slight, and doesn't really "pop" like some fine walnuts.

Some say the wood is Poplar (Chopo in Spanish), but my experience with poplar tells me its not since poplar is a very soft wood, and the stocks on a Cetme are pretty damn hard. Mine has some thumbnail grain to it that points to some form of Beech, which typically doesnt have a very defined or drastic grain.

One guy made one a while back on CR.com out of some curly maple with some REALLY nice fiddleback. He was going to start making them for everyone, but I think that fell through the cracks.

[97th Signalman]

That's pretty nice wood. I would love to see a close up of your stock there Signalman.

Here is an older photo (before I installed the stock pin tubes and sling) that I cropped to show the stock in more detail:

I added a couple of recent photos to shoe the new wood grip that I added.

[Patria Povo]

After admiring some of the very artful pics that members have of their weapons here, I decided it was time to take some new pics of some of my favorites. So, here is my G3, which I got cheaply from Sarco a couple of years ago. It's mostly a mix of Portuguese FMP and US JLD parts, with an HK bolt carrier. What you are seeing includes:

* G3 Bayonet & lug
* HK21 style cocking handle
* 30rd South African steel mag
* German G3 wood furniture
* US made trigger group parts
* canvas sling
* Tac Latch II paddle mag release

How on earth do you get a reliable "cheek weld" with a scope that high? I searched far and wide to get as low a scope mount as possible. Had to remove (temporarily) the rear paddle aperture so the scope wouldn't hit it and it's still a challenge to anchor to the stock.

Hi all.....
I posted a while back on a B forearm and bipod.
I decided to go ahead with it. Now have 6 options
with 3 sets of stocks.....black, green, wood.
Each with or without bipod.
I guess it's a poor mans way of having multiple rifles.

Where did you get the B forearm and bipod. I have talked to Arnaiz and he has had trouble getting them so I pretty much left it alone!:thumbup:

[corky52]

Thanks, I got it from a buddy of mine that had it left over after he sold his CETME. He had this set, which is complete. He also had another handguard and bipod legs, but was missing the bracket set that clamps onto the rifle. I guess those parts could be fabricated with the right tools. I only needed the one set, so I bought it. I'll probably kick myself for not buying the other parts if I get another CETME. It was a little pricey, but I thought it belonged on the rifle. Now with the scope and bipod, my old eyes aren't such a handicap.

[rpmfly2]

I can fabricate anything here with friends at Champion Crane and Delavan that makes jet engine parts. All I need is a good set of pictures and look out! I actually had to fire up one of my computers to see your rifle better because the kids computer has an old dark monitor on it.

[corky52]

I should see him next week. I will ask for you. If he still has it, you can pm me your e-mail address and perhaps he can contact you directly.

Note the Mod B 4arm and bipod. I've since added the Mod-B flash hider and hadta put on the US made pistola grip to keep 922r compliant.

[Patria Povo]

Steelecore, are you shooting shop manequin heads in that first pic??????

Love the 'B' forearm and bipod, too! :rockon:

[SteelCore]

We are shooting mannequin heads. Here's how we got them:

Shootinng buddy had a girlfriend that was a beautician schoool student. They get those heads with long hair, and they do diff haircuts all semster on them. The last is the buzz cut, then they just toss 'em. We said, "hey, we'll take a dozen" so we take a trashbag of heads to the range.

They're very resilient, the rubber is stretched cast over a foam core, and the bullets leave little black marks on them. Usually a rifle bullet is going so fast thru them that it won't even knock them over.

The other funny thinng is that they are named by the students. My fave is Annie, cause you can shoot her, knock her over, then say "Annie Annie, are you OK?" (Sorry, old CPR/Artificial Recussitation class reference)

--ETA---

Here's a pic of the CETME with Mod B flash hider and forend:

Direct trade? No. :p

I am thinking I'll list the cetme for $650 (scope not included, I won't make someone buy the scope if they want the gun). Ideally I'd like something more around the $700 or, if I'm really lucky (not likely), the $750 range. $650 is what I paid for the gun, trigger job by Bill Springfield, the scope mount and the bipod, so I wouldn't be overcharging. I really want to get this thing off my hands so I can buy an M70AB2 (along with some goodies to go with it, like a J-Tac47 compensator).

Do you guys think that it'll sell for $650?

As you can see in the pic, I redid the wood on it.
Either your a saint or something, don't sell yourself short. Ask $700-$800 for that thing. The time and effort you put into it. Better yet don't sell it and buy the m70 on your own. I'm not made of money but they ain't that expensive. They are a bit overated. IMHO... Anyway that CETME is climbing in value FAST.

Here's some pics of my newest aquisition as promised, along with her sibling. My wallet may be empty, but my gun cabinet is mighty happy! Hopefully, I'll be able to pick up one more Mars gun before our nation's political climate bottoms out (I try to buy the guns I really like in 3's).

If anybody would like detailed pics of certain features, I'll try to accomodate. Just understand that my pictures taking skills are crap!

Enjoy

Very sweet - I've been toying with the idea of a red dot. Do you really like it? Got a nice list of Pros/Cons to share?
TIA

Nice looking rifle. Especially the stock. Want to sell it? :D

Is that an HK or a clone MJ? 93?

W&E
I really like my red dot a lot. It's so light and small, a stark contrast to the gigantic scope I had on there before.

PROS:
*Small (extremely lightweight (2 ounces)).
*The Burris Fastfire is a solid little red dot. It is metal and glass (instead of polymer and plastic) construction.
*The price was good ($175.95, no shipping. I got it from TacticalStore.com)
*The dot self adjusts to the ambient light conditions, which is really sweet. It's plenty bright when the sun's out, and it is dim in dark conditions.
*Battery life is supposedly really good
*VERY easy to sight in. I was amazed how easy it was.

CONS:
*Only a 1-year warranty, but I take care of my guns, so this shouldn't be a problem.
*The on-off switch would be a problem for those with bigger hands, but it's fine for me.
*If you ever did run out of battery juice (however unlikely, from what I gather, it's 4 years of continuous use), you have to take the whole unit off to replace the battery. This isn't too bad seeing how easy it was to sight in.


The Fastfire was originally designed for pistols, but it can handle my Cetme no problem (it's designed to supposedly withstand 1000 G's). I really like it and doubt that I'll be taking it off my weapon anytime soon. :thumbup:

[jfowl31]

I looked at those Fastfires... almost pulled the trigger on one, but changed my mind and went with the ATN compact Red Dot.... its very comparable in size and features. I kinda wish it didn't have the auto adjust on light conditions, or at least an option to override it. It has 1 option to override and that is to make it full power, but there are times that I want it dimmer than it chooses to go.

Is that Burris multi-reticle? Digital or manual controls? I may get one of those for my G22, I mounted my old reflex sight on my 6.8 AR and broke it... so now I need a new one for the 22 and that one looks really nice.

[hunter_la5]

MJ11, that is one FANTASTIC looking rifle. part of me still wishes I had bought an HK93 (well, a clone anyway) I saw instead of my AR...

[Windage and Elevation]

Schmitty - Thanks for the "Poop" on the red dot. Sharing knowledge is one of the BEST parts of this board!:icon_biggrin:

My new CETME from Classic Arms. Overall, quite happy with the quality, even the black plastic. I'll be replaceingthe black plastic with wood before too long however.

[97th Signalman]

That is a nice looking CETME. I am sure you will enjoy it. If you replace US made plastic furniture be sure to add some other US made parts to keep it in compliance with the 922 requirements.

[FleischPfeife]

Hey Guys! I just registered on the forum and was like a kid in a candy store going through all the pictures. Here is my CETME. I just refinished the stocks... tell me what you think!



I'm following the work on the walnut grip... I really like that. I had already purchased all the walnut I needed to do a custom wood set for the gun, so I'm really happy to see someone else trying to same thing.

[wwIIBuff]

Looks nice

Nice looking wood there. Tell us how you finsihed it ?

Well, I purchased a new stock set from the local cheaper than dirt, it costs $9.95... I started with 100grit and sanded down the factory sealant. The stocks come relatively rough. After about 10 minutes of sanding, I switched to a 220, and then finally a 330 grit which I overused and forced wood into the grit to create a cheap french polish effect. Then I stained with a dark red minwax stain, hit it once with a rag and wiped off 1 minute later, then 4 hours after that I did a heavy stain and left it on for 4 hours, wiped it clean and placed the pieces in an autoclave @ 150* for 4 15 minute segments, wiping excessive stain that bled out between each segment. Then I sprayed 10 coats of polyurethane gloss finish. I didn't wetsand the final coat yet, but with 20 minutes of careful effort you could make the finish as smooth as glass.

Some people don't like the shiny red wood look, I'll agree that it does make the gun have a russian flavor (which I'm definitely not a fan of) but I really wanted to give the gun a good rich color, and I'm happy with it - exactly what I wanted.

I had a few PM's about my scope and mount from another forum, so I thought I'd share some - I'm sure there are other members out there with the leapers G3 scope with illuminator.

http://jadefalcon.shackspace.com/Pics/Weapons/CETME_07.JPG
The scope mount is very solid, I really didn't expect much from it since it was only $30, and the nicer STANAG mount was anywhere from $80 - $120. However, I like the lower mount since I shoot between 100-250yards so the adjustment is not as drastic for range adjustments. And, you can still use your iron sights with the mount installed - which is nice.

http://jadefalcon.shackspace.com/Pics/Weapons/CETME_06.JPG

Here is a look at the reticle - definitely my favorite part of the scope. It has a about a 3" eye relief which is reasonable. I'll definitely agree that the scope doesn't transfer as much light as the original H&K G3 Hensoldt model one - but at 1/3rd the cost its definitely acceptable. Also the reticle illuminates a bright red when you turn it on - however if you wear corrective lenses it might cause some distracting aberrations in the scope.

[wwIIBuff]

Stocks look real nice

thats a very beautiful rifle

[vista461]

Wow $200 is a good deal, my parts kit and receiver cast more than that

[hunter_la5]

wow, that's a great deal dahondaboy. I'd pay that even if it had a ground bolt and didn't run right

[wwIIBuff]

Great deal

[dahondaboy]

yes, to say the least I was ecstatic! And it has a good bolt or at least been replaced not too long ago, The only thing wrong with it is the wood has some gouges but that is gettin fixed tonite. It has a cast reciever and no ejection problems so far. I will be on the lookout for a bayonet lug and bayonet if y'all know of a good source let me know.

[lumbergh]

CTD has full brand new wood stock sets (with new flash suppressor and more) for $9.95. And CETME bayonets for 9.95. Your $200 special will look new and get rid of the shock enhancer from CAI.

...922 issues aside.
