anyone own a Century Arms CEMTE?

I looked one over at a LGS the other day. I don't know anything about these, the bore looked like they used a military barrel for the rebuild as it show some wear. But at $500 with 6 magazines it was tempting.

If the laws of your state say you can own it then you can own it.

The CETME .308 cal. has many loyal followers that report a strong admiration for the various models available ,Many companies offer after market parts such as Buymilsurp.com and Wikapedia offers their info online. I have shot the CETME with an HK parts kit and it was like a new .308. If you research the CETME online you will find a great deal of info on the weapon and its background,with a club that publishes general info on available CETME info and sources.Good Luck JGC

I own a PTR91GI, which I highly recommend if you are looking for a G3 pattern rifle. Little more than $500 but it beats the price for a real HK91.

No, but I have "fixed" 7 or 8 of them. Magwell issues, and roller lockup issues, and canted front sights, and parkerized over rust.
I don't really recommend the buying of them.

Stay away from the Century G3 aluminum block version...It is a horror story :( My cousin paid 600 for one 12 years ago, " new" was not hard on it at all, Shot great for a few weeks, but no matter how much we cleaned and oiled it, it was getting harder and harder to pull back..Finaly we could not get it too pull back " being easy on it too" letting it break it..We took it back into the gun store and they traded for another, that one started doing the same thing in short time.. We took it back in and traded it in on a down payment on a colt..lol

Centruy really screwed the pooch on some of them G3'S..so watch out...If you see the main body is painted aluminum, run away!!
