Where did you find a CETME for $100?
Buy it RIGHT NOW before it gets taken by someone else.

My friends dad doesn't want it anymore. I cleaned it for him a few months ago so I hope I'll get first dibs on it.
Of course I test fired it when I cleaned it. It cycled perfect. I didn't worry about accuracy.
I think it is a little big for me, I had a hard time seeing through the sights.

Buy the Cetme.
If you don't like it, you can sell it for $500 (at least) and get something else.

If you buy the Mosin over the CETME, then..... :banghead:
Buy the CETME, if you don't like it then sell it and get a crate of Mosins. Or more. Reliable CETMEs are kinda hard to find. Most are cruddy Century builds.

This. If I found them for $100, I'd spend every dime I had and then quintuple my money over the next few months. It's been quite a while since they were even under $500.

Well, if he's serious, I"ll buy it. I don't really like it or want it but it would be fun to shoot for a while and then sell it.
Afterall, Mosin's are a dime a dozen.

You may change your mind. They're a very robust rifle, and magazines are dirt cheap. A bit heavy, more recoil than other .308's and they do wreck brass, but they're reliable and sometimes quite accurate. My Century-built G3 is MOA @ 100 yards with any decent 150 gr. ball.

Buy it, sell it, then you are most of the way to an SVT-40. Now that is not a dime a dozen, but its sorta like a mosin if soviet rifles are your thing.

Does your friend's dad know that it's easily worth five times his asking price? I'd have a hard time buying so light from a friend's family member.

Pay him at least mostly what it's worth.
Ripping off a friend will come back to haunt you sooner or later.

A $100.00 Cetme? Wow!
Just depends on what you prefer. I own a Mosin-Nagant 1891/30 and I absolutely love it! However, the .308/7.62x51 ammo is slightly cheaper, and the Cetme rifle is an outstanding design - much like the H&K G3. The Cetme is a semi-auto battle rifle and has better sights. The Mosin is cheaper to repair and simpler in design. I might just snap up that Cetme and you can buy a Mosin later (the Mosins are still selling for less than $100.00). Happy shooting!

Cetme vs Mosin.....no doubt about it, the Cetme is the better gun by FAR! If I am shooting a four foot long 9lbs bolt action I expect accuracy at leased on par with my featherweight guns and the Mosin is not even close. The Cetme is no match grade weapon either but at leased it is a semi auto, magazine feed, assault rifle, and I can appreciate that.

Both Rc's...I thought about that and decided it wouldn't be right. My friend is having his 2nd child in a few weeks and he needs the money more than me. I will inform them of the guns value, about $500.
You guys are the best!

Good for you for making the call on this one.
Friendship is far more valuable than a stellar deal on a rifle.
And then, as a buddy, he can comp you the Mosin for 50.
And a new baby into the mix as well! Don't you love win-win-win?
