Are there for the cetme, I seen some with the tray and dividers and some without. Some have bolt heads in them and some don't the inventory list does not list the bolt heads. Just wondering if there are different kits out there or different versions depending on the year they were made?

Anyone have any ideas here?
Thanks

DAA, I think there was 1 type of armorer's kit in the Spanish Army. I think we got the leftovers that had various inventories due to them not keeping them up to standard. Hell, we probably got all the deadlined kits :)

So each one may have different inventory lists and contents? Makes it darn hard to get a complete kit when they have different things in them. I have what I think is a complete kit and inventory list, looks like 100% complete, but does not list the plastic bottles or bolt heads/locking piece. Does list everything else.

That's a pretty cool kit. I was thinking about getting an armourer's kit myself. I know gunbroker has a lot of stuff but way over priced. How much would something like that run and where might i be able to aquire one?? gracias

I paid way too much for this one... but as compared to the other one I got that was missing over 50% or more of the contents I think I did ok. This kit cost me more than a cast cetme. Close to a grand... but it is complete as far as I can tell minus the bolt heads and locking pieces. All the parts are unissued, box is a little rough, but intact.

Once I sort through my other kit and see how complete it is I will put it on the trader. I also will list a couple of empty boxes I bought over the past 5 years, when I thought if I can't have a complete kit at least I will have the box. In the process of sorting them out as time permits.

There are two types of Armorers kits. The one you have has the loader, five 20 round mags and one five round, (each person issued a CETME rifle had a 5 rounder for standing garrison duty, so I was told). One complete bolt w/carrier, one complete trigger Assembly. And a bottom set of dividers. The second kit has no divider, I believe ten 20 round mags, one trigger grip housing, one trigger pack and a bolt carrier. They both have rollers, extractors, ejectors, firing pins, pistol grips, some stock furniture. Condition ranges from pristine to crap and raped. Century carries them the loader kit generally lists $249 and the other kit 199. About every three months they go on special and the loader one will go for 199 and the other 189... Its really a lotto every time you buy one. I've gotten kits that were packed in 1970 and everything listed was in it and more and all in new condition. And others with mags used and rusted, loader in the bright red of rust with most of the small parts missing...

You are right, I have one with no dividers and about 20 mags, litle parts come in carton box and envelopes, different.
