I need advice on a trade...

[JohnTRourke]

no
They suck
You'll hate .308's if your introduction is a CETME
a G3 is actually a pretty good one (not my fav, but decent)
But the CETME is a POS

[Marlin]

Never had a problem with mine. :P

[JohnTRourke]

Well
There ya go
You can either take advice from an imaginary magician who lived when there were no firearms [poke]
or

The Survivialist

You know, just in case you didn't know which way to go. :roll:

[Marlin]

Meaning What?

[<MADDOG>]

I have a hard time understanding how a CETME is a POS, but a G3 is not, as they are essentially the same rifle.....

[7idl]

HEY! I want a CETME!

of course I already have my M1 and M1A [pirate]

not to mention my 700PSS in .308 :mrgreen:

[AR Will]

Merlin, was an imaginary magician. A Marlin is a sporting fish.

[roman gnome]

I thought Merlin was a Sorcerer.

And Marlin was a rifle :mrgreen:

[Caliber357]

I was just about to point that out - dang it, AR Will beat me to it.

I owned a Cetme before once and had fun playing around with it. It had a tendency to light-strike the primers, but that might have been the soft commercial .308 ammo I was using. I've heard they like mil-surp 7.62x51 ammo better. Would I bet my life on it? No. I've got the PTR-91 for a nice reliable 20 round .308 battle rifle. Will the Cetme provide hours of fun in the dirt and brush, without me worrying about tearing up a $1000.00 rifle? Sure.

G3 =HK german centme=spainish,I think,
just relate it to cars ,the Hk's are worth there weight, 300 is cheep but buy a HK ,or a FAL ,DSA,or an armlight ,never seen anthing but problems with a centme [postal]
