CETME rifle

[Gil Martin]

I have read about these rifles for a number of years. All the ones I have encountered were either overpriced or beat up very badly. I stopped in a gun shop today and was roaming the used gun racks. They had an 1891 Argentine full military and matching for $150, but I have one and passed on it. Coming to the end of the racks I saw a gas gun hiding among some others. Turns out it was a CETME in mint condition. I cautiously looked at the hang tag and it said $369. The shop owner let it go for $340 with three spare 20-round magazines. I cleaned it up and plan to go to the range tomorrow. I'll let you know how it shoots. All the best...
