This is just a rhetorical question about military semi-autos, but having read so many comments about problems with CETME 'G-3's and now random gun website comments about FALs on Gunbroker (Hesse receivers?), was Century the only company with a license to do this work years ago?
I've no idea how many dozens of times I've seen very 'troubling' comments regarding Century about both types of .308 rifles, and it appears that for certain types of military semi-auto rifles, other companies seem to be seldom or never mentioned.
The problems with so many Century .308 'battle rifles' (plus prices for FALs, PTRs, HKs) and reloading issues were critical factors in my decision to instead save for a first Garand via a roadtrip to the CMP. Have never had a .308 or 30-06 rifle, but the CMP is the solution.
