My first Cetme C Model build.

[Manofdusk]

Although I have built one other Cetme previously, it was more of a hybrid 51. This one is my first full size rifle and was built from a complete C Model parts kit less the receiver and barrel. I had a German made 91 barrel I got back in 2000 from a $175.00 G3 kit. I picked up a Hesse H91 receiver to build the kit on. I had to grind down the HK rear sight windage screw block on the rear sight base

to be able to weld the Cetme sight onto.







This is how it looked when it started it's life;

Glad you found the one Hesse receiver true enough to use.

Looks good.

Ha! It took a little tweaking to get it to function properly. Most of the tweaking was the magazine release. The rest seemed to fit up pretty good. It was the second Hesse receiver I have used in my builds. The first one functioned perfectly with no tweaking needed.
