I went to the gunshow looking for a Century G3. There were exactly none,despite it being a rather large show. There were a few CETMEs. I checked em out,2 had funky headspace,1 had a crooked front sight,several had welds that looked like they were done by a drunken monkey. A few had muzzle brakes,most didn`t. I found one synthetic stocked one that had really nice welds,headspace and good fit and finish overall,for a great price. That one`s mine! I picked up a couple $6 G-3 mags (gotta love that!!!) and a battle pack of SA ammo too. Tried it out today. At first I got several failures to fire (with Argentine surplus ammo). They were a little corroded around the primer pocket and have failed in other guns from time to time so I switched to the S. African ammo. No more failures to fire. The only other problem was 2 fauilures to feed with one G-3 mag that I realized fit a little tighter than the rest and wasn`t fully seated when I thought it was. Once I figured that out I was able to put about 120rds. through it with no problems at all. The sights are dead on for windage (thank goodness!) and about an inch high at 50yds. using the 200yd. peep. The 100yd. sight is funky and I didn`t use it much. Recoil was pretty mild even without the muzzle brake. Next time out I`ll bring a few more types of ammo,a proper rest and see what kind of accuracy I can get out of it but I had no trouble at all busting less than fist sized rocks on the 50yd. backstop. So far,big fun! Marcus
