The Century Arms CETME Sporter is a remarkable semi-automatic rifle chambered in .308 Winchester, designed to appeal to both collectors and shooting enthusiasts alike. This rifle is a nod to the classic Spanish CETME rifle, which significantly influenced the development of the renowned Heckler & Koch G3 used by many NATO countries. Assembled by Century Arms from a mix of original surplus parts and newly manufactured components, it boasts a robust and reliable performance with military-style functionality made accessible to civilians. The CETME Sporter features a roller-delayed blowback system, a clean, mirror-finish bore, and a sleek black finish. With a 20+1 capacity and a 17.7" barrel length, this rifle is perfect for tactical scenarios and extended range sessions.
The overall condition of this CETME Sporter is very good, showing only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use. There is some minor scuffing present, but the bore remains in excellent condition with sharp lands and grooves. The rifle comes with two 20-round magazines. The hardwood stock and forend, combined with a molded synthetic pistol grip, provide a solid and comfortable handling experience. Equipped with a shrouded front post and an aperture rear sight, along with a muzzle brake on the barrel, this rifle ensures precise and controlled shooting.
Owning the Century Arms CETME Sporter is like owning a piece of military history that offers modern-day performance. The rifle's design is robust and reliable, thanks to the iconic roller-delayed blowback system. The .308 Win. caliber provides impressive power and accuracy, making it a favorite among shooting enthusiasts. The historical significance of the CETME design—being the precursor to the HK G3—adds an extra layer of appeal for collectors.
Its anodized black finish not only enhances its durability but also gives it a sleek, tactical appearance.
