The Century Arms C308 Sporter, a semi-automatic rifle based on the renowned CETME battle rifle, is a gun enthusiast's dream. This piece is in excellent condition, with only minor signs of prior use. The wood furniture features some minor scuffs, adding a touch of character to its appearance. The bore is in excellent condition, with a clean, mirror finish and sharp rifling. The gun comes with a 20 round magazine, making it ready for use right out of the box.
What sets the C308 Sporter apart is its unique genesis. Built from original surplus CETME parts kits, this model is paired with a new US receiver and 18-inch barrel. The barrel is threaded 5/8th x 24 with a compensator. Moreover, this model features an optic rail on top of the receiver, allowing for the easy mounting of your preferred optic. The rifle’s CETME buffer results in a bit more recoil compared to modern PTR-type rifles, adding a touch of authenticity to your shooting experience.
The C308 Sporter's black painted finish and surplus wood furniture provide a durable, classic look that adds to its appeal.
One of the most striking features of the C308 Sporter is its caliber. The .308 Win is a commercial name for the 7.62×51mm NATO rifle cartridge, a popular choice for hunting and target shooting due to its potent stopping power and long-range accuracy. Additionally, this model will accept readily available G3 20-round mags, offering you flexibility and convenience.
Century Arms, the manufacturer, is known for its unique and hard-to-find firearms, making this C308 Sporter a highly sought-after model among collectors and shooting enthusiasts. If you're on the hunt for a solid .308 military style rifle that doesn't break the bank, the Century Arms C308 Sporter is your prime choice.
