'Local Boy' - That's neat! I did not know about the 'Spanish Kit' for the .308 Mauser FR7/FR8.

I did have one of the Century Arms 'Cetme' rifles for a while. It was properly set-up with the repro receiver and performed quite well.

It looked quite foxy when I replaced the black plastic stock with Spanish Wood & sling and German Aluminum magazines.

It was quite handy and accurate with German and Portuguese 7.62 NATO ammo and functioned without hiccup, once I switched to the $2.97 German magazines. (I had problems with one bad Spanish mag).

I traded it when the cheap excellent surplus ammo dried up. I didn't have the heart to reload brass for a fluted chamber.

I had a German H&K cleaning kit. My 'Cetme' lacked a flash hider, so I skipped getting a bayonet.

I liked the simplicity of the sights, (two leaf rear 'peep' and 'off-set' front post, adjustable for windage and elevation). It was very dead-on at 100 yards!
