can find what i am lookin for...

[mistersquiggles]

ok..... havent been around a lot, not that it matters, i wasnt exactly a premium poster on the old board, (Pointman03 on cetmerifles)......... but i cant seem to find, among all the links i remember and have logged, any sites that offer either the real, honest-to-god, wood furniture for my CETME or a wide handguard in black or green either...... has everything dried up? have y'all bought it all? my rifle needs some serious cosmetic repair..... that crummy damn furniture that it came with, (black plastic from century) is literallly falling apart...... i've been looking for wood for her for some time, even emailed back and forth with that fella that said he would do custom furniture (i wanted mesquite) and its all been a great big let down, major ** no joy** for you airwinger types....... anyway, anyone know where i can find decent wood furniture? **or** green furniture, as a package, with a **wide forearm** (or black for that matter..... POF and TAPCO aint got diddly squat) ? i'd really appreciate the help.....

thanks guys!! got new wood on order from copes, and i'm gonna bribe a good carpenter friend to do the finish.....

That's a great price at Copes! Way to go jfowl31.

Im interested to know what "metal hardware" comes with the copes sets... The picture sure doesnt show much... If it comes with all the buffer and recoil setup, Ill definitely be ordering a few sets to paint... if not.... not sure yet.

good to know I need an extra butstock anyway.

[mistersquiggles]

it should be in mid next week, (my new stock set) and i'll let y'all know what it looks like....... wish i owned a camera so i could dispense with the bs, but i's is a po' white boy, so i'll do my very best to describe it in my-newt-detail for all you fellas.....

[nevada]

Mr S, It took a year of these guys ragging on me about pics to get a camera. You will when you can.

[jfowl31]

cameras are pretty damn cheap nowadays... not likeit used to be.

walmart has a bunch of cameras for under 150 that are miles ahead of the digital cameras that were out a few years ago... 6 or 7 megapixels and only $129... 4 megapixels used to cost 3-400!

You gotta just splurge and go get one... itll last forever... and then all of a sudden youll be taking pics of everything you own, and we'll all gawk at what youve got!

[mistersquiggles]

thered be no gawking thats for sure....... i dont have that much of a collection.... just a few that i like cause they fill the bill for form fit and function.... i like shooting.. any chance i get..... i go..but i tend to wear things out...... or at least with the CETME, the crummy furniture from CIA didnt so much as wear out as it did start falling apart...... cameras? i guess i'm old school..... i shoot medium format, and develop my own..... its been a hobby for years along with blacksmithing and shooting.... i cant abide by moving up to digital, it'd be sort of a death knell to my oldest hobby.... i guess i could get a scanner tho at some point....
