American Rifleman shooting review of the BRN-10 and CETME L

[USBP379]

Something new on the American Rifleman website. Both rifles are quite interesting although I think I like the BRN-10 the best. The AR-10 is one of those rifles I always dreamed of owning.

Based on the description in the article these aren't really reproductions but rifles made to look similar to the originals, so not sure they are worth the prices asked. Understand the top charging AR10 is unique feature, but there are lots of original semi auto CETMEs readily available in the market for less than this offering (and cheap mags are everywhere still).

You know the CETME-L is different right?

I think you might be confusing the Marcolmar rifle with one of the Century Arms guns chambered in 308.

I stand corrected. Did not look at the details this was a 5.56 cetme as opposed to the standard 308.

The CETME L is a relatively unknown rifle here in the States. Kits have been available from Apex for a couple years and some rifles were put together by Hill and Mac but I don't think they were built in large numbers.
