hansellhd2 is that you? if so I have always been envious of your collection. Cheers either way
Yes Model/Hansellhd2/Hansellhd are all the same person. I use Model over on the K98 forum as well and thought I would use it on this new forum .
Yes all German engineers on the CETME project, however the CETME L was all Spanish. (the hard work was already done.....lol)

I humbly offer a pik of mine.
It's just a Century but years ago I had a guy install a G3 rear sight and a muzzle brake from IGF. He did a blast/park/paint on it too.
There was a time when Tapco got a hold of a shipment of never-issued CETME furniture. I bought a set and oiled it up a little.
New Spanish bayonet and sling finished it off. You know, this gun has ALWAYS worked perfectly, seriously.

ETA: You guys take great pictures.
Looks like you scored one of mad dog's butt pads too! Or an original from Spain, Jorge was selling a few around 2010 or so and I bought one of those too.
I like both versions a lot.
I'll add a pic of my own, just a dressed up Century
