G3/CETME Tripleframe and rear sight.

[ELEFANTMKVI (The Inbred clown)]

Hi, The triple frame on one of my CETME kits is pretty well beat. Been thinking about using one from a G3 w/ front sight included like the ones Robert RTG parts has. If I go that route will I have to use a G3 rear sight also?:thanks:

The CETME triple frame and front sight is what allows you to adjust for windage and elevation, while on the G3, these functiona are done at the rear sight, and the front post is static.

The easiest thing would be to get a replacement CETME part from Arnaiz

Also there are 2 different types of G3 triple frames. It all depends on the type of cocking tube you have. One is the same diameter all the way to the end of the tube, the other narrows down in the last five inches of so. Most CETME use the former. If you go to a G3 drum, then the old CETME rear mount would have to be ground/cut off. a G3 Sight base welded on, then all of the parts for the drum sight obtained. Yes, Robert has them all. Either way means silver soldering the triple frame, which can mean loss of accuracy....

Is the straight cocking tube on the G3 also referred to as the early model?

If done properly, why would you get a loss of accuracy?
