The CETME L pattern is known for its roller-delayed blowback system, and this semi-automatic example retains that core operating design. It is marked on the left magwell with "ET CETME L 5,56 (.223)" and uses common STANAG/M16-pattern magazines for broad compatibility. Selector markings are color-coded with S (yellow) and F (red), and the charging handle is positioned on the right side.
The 16-inch barrel is cold hammer forged and nitrided for durability and corrosion resistance. It uses a 1:7 twist suitable for modern 5.56 NATO loads and is threaded, capped with a three-prong flash hider. The rifle is full-size with a 14.5-inch length of pull.
Sighting equipment includes a protected front post and a CETME-pattern rotary rear aperture. A factory Picatinny/1913 rail segment is installed forward of the rear sight, and the rifle retains its bayonet lug and front sling swivel.
Construction centers on a stamped/welded steel receiver with a Cerakote Elite finish. The fixed black polymer stock and ribbed, vented polymer handguard provide a robust, period-correct setup that balances durability with straightforward handling.
