New CETME

[paladinm1911]

I picked up a CIA CETME from the guys at Henderson Defense Ind. last week and ordered 500 rounds of Wolf ammo from J&G. Cleaned up the weapon and took it to the range today. I went through 9 full 20 round mags (HK alum. types), all worked fine except for one which would not feed properly, but at $4 a pop I chucked it.
The weapon functioned better than I expected . The only failures to feed were from the bad mag and my own stupidity, the CETME does not work when loading from the lock up bolt position. I found it works better if you load a fresh mag and then fully rack the bolt.
Very pleased with the weapon, just getting use to the controls and it does need the wider forearm, that bad boy gets hot!!!

Cool, I've been considering adding one of these to the stable.

[congochris]

anotheroldfart loves his, although he's considering replacing it with a new PTR, just so he has new parts, or just replacing the worn parts on his.

and check cheaperthandirt, i think they had mags for a buck a pop on there. wait, yup, here they are.

[Rick12337]

Always wanted one of those there just rare to find in my area.

[gelgoog]

got to love the cetme/hk91 design. I consider them the AK47 of the full-power MBR world.

Looks like all the Las Vegan members are arming up with some German engineering! PTR-91:

[mr. right-wing]

Oh....and RPKs!



Please don't tell me you owned a Honda Ridgeline that you miss dearly, because that would be down right creepy!

[drunkensurvivor]

How is the trigger? The one Cetme I shot functioned perfectly, but had the absolute worst trigger I've ever used, and that includes every toy gun I've shot too.

Yeah, except for the sheet metal cocking tube(or whatever its called). They do have an ultra rugged feel and extraction and ejection power that give you a real sense of high reliability.

[gelgoog]

desert folks prefer reliability!




these sandies like them as well.

well anything that easily eats wolf ammo gets my respect. They are a heavy bitch, but having tried the FAL and HK91, I think I will stick with the HK.

I love my PTR. It's good to know there are some other folks in NV that have 'em.
Congrats on the new purchase I hope it serves you well. I've found mine to be very reliable.

mr. right-wing, what scope mount are you using?

[Sig_Ocelot]

I love the CETME, it's a very fun rifle. I'm also glad you found a working CAI model. Also, you can get a railed forearm and a VFG for under $90.

How do you like the Wolf .308 ammo? I've never shot any in recent memory.

CAI also "made" ( or should I say farmed out) some HK91 clones as well, and they work pretty damn good...ask me how I know

wolf .308 works like all wolf, it goes bang, but don't expect much from it. When I got a bunch at .25 a round I consider it perfectly satisfactory.

[Dave_M]

Had one, sold it immediately. But hey, if yours actually works, go with God...

It's a factory HK claw mount with a Hensoldt 4 power on it

Thank you, Good Sir.

[Gun_Nut_2k1]

I have the pistol version of the PTR-91. I love it.

[GhostDivision44]

got a CETME myself love it so far and it shoots good (must not have been made on a monday). the trigger is not the best, i sent my trigger off to www.williamstriggers.com they do really good work. got it back and its 3lb pull now, vast improvement from the factory

How hard is installing a wide forearm? Because I sure could use it that skinny forearm heats up fast.

I was going to work on buying a Cetme until a friend gave me a good deal on an FAL. I couldn't imagine liking a rifle more than that FAL but I would definitely give a PTR-91 a go to see if I like it better.

[durden10]

Which is better, the PTR-91 or the CETME?

[gelgoog]

PTR-91 for better fit and finish...and because its more expensive

It is easy peasy to install a wide forearm, just pull the fore arm pin and replace. I will warn you that I have a CIA G3 clone and when I put my wide forearm on, I have to file a weld glob spot down to make it fit. It was just an overwelded spot, no function problem, and you can't see it with the forearm on.
