Nods Gil, they are good rifles, and far underestimated IMHO.
after all, it is the "daddy" of the G3.
Just keep those chamber flutes clean, they designed them to use the gas to help "float" the cases out of the action, but if cruddy enough, that can also case the extractor to rip the head off the case.
I personally think that the rep the CETME has with head seperations, is letting the action get too dirty with older dirty milsurp, and havign it rip it off on extraction, but thats just me, take it with a grain of salt.
If you need more mags, CETME mags aren't that expensive, and on some rifles g3 mags will work as well, but on others it won't without a little tweaking, just depends on what your rifle likes, and what kind of condition the mags are in.
all in all i think you'll enjoy her, mine is more accurate than i thought it would be, and rather pleasant to shoot.
My Hakim of course still is my fav, though the Ljungman may give her a run for her money, but the CETME still gets regular usage as well
