CETME rifle

[gumpokc]

Gratz Gil, you shoudl enjoy it quite abit.

I have one that i am havign a ball with.

a few tips, #1 get one of those brass/brnze bore scrubbers, mounted on a long wire handle, bend the end just before the scrubber to about a 45 deg angle. you'll need it for cleaning the flutes in the chamber, and using that little tool works better than just about anything else.

be careful of the indian surplusammo, there's alot of speculation on it right now, as to causing some KB's. Not alot of hard evidence, but enough to say, don't use it in your CETME unless you have too.

there some good info, over on gunboards.com, cetme/fr-8 forums.

and btw your correct models and cartridge specs you mentioned earlier, the "C" models have no problems with standard milsurp 7.62x51.

One other thing GIl, thought i am sure you are aware of the differenc ein 7.62x51 and .308win.

stick to milsurp or handloaded milspec brass. The .308win brass is usually softer and the CETME has a rep of head seperations with soft brass.
