Hey,
I always loved the look of the G3/FAL precursor the CETME. When Century was unloading them everywhere 3-4 years ago, never had the money or an opportunity to try one out. Well, low and behold I walk into the local gun shop today and they had a new Century CETME with wood stocks and all.
Anyone have any experience with this rifle? What should I look for? What questions should I ask? Whats a fair price? I recall they were selling for $450+ back then, but the local guys were only looking for $350 - there doesn't seem to be much interest around here (N. GA) for battle rifles as deer season winds down.
I know lots of people don't like the Century rifles - the snobs call em crap - but the price is good and my SAR worked like a dream
WOuld aprpeciate your thoughts as this may be a post christmas (as in Monday morning) gift to myself.
Thanks!!!
