MarColMar CETME L, chambered in 5.56 NATO. Great little clone of the original roller locked rifle used by the Spanish military in 'the 70's and '80's. These have been updated, with a bolt hold open and an optic rail built into the receiver. I am the original owner and only have about 150 rounds through it. Comes with one 30 round OKAY metal magazine.
Also included are the MarColMar marked rifle case, Spanish Army Surplus Bayonet, two Slings (one used with leather keeper and one new with metal keeper), and a very well-illustrated multipage manual.
It is in Like New condition. I added some Velcro tape around the ejection port to prevent marks by the fired brass. They can be removed with no damage to the receiver.
From MarColMar:
Born from the ashes of WWII, the CETME design group was established in Spain, and staffed by many Mauser employees like Dr. Ludwig Vorgrimler, who brought their research and designs with them. They would later develop and adopt the CETME C, better known to American shooters and collectors under its German licensed designation: the G3 / HK91 in 7.62x51 / .308.
Faced with the transition by militaries to the 5.56 in the 1970s, and with their pending entrance into NATO, Spain and CETME began in earnest to develop a 5.56 rifle for their military. The result was the last roller-locking rifle to be adopted by any military, and the first and only one specifically designed for the 5.56/.223 from the ground up, the CETME L.
Unlike its German cousin the HK33, it was not a scaled down version of the 7.62 receiver. A totally new design, the CETME L is thinner and has a smaller form factor. The CETME L served with Spanish troops through the 80's and 90's, and was used during their service with Coalition Forces during Operation Desert Storm. The CETME L continues to serve to this day with Spanish Reserve and Police units.
MarColMar uses original Spanish surplus parts, a new made in the USA receiver, a cold-hammer-forged and nitrided barrel (1-in-7), brand new US made furniture, all finished with Cerakote, to produce a beautiful new firearm that is now optimized for US STANAG M-16/AR-15 magazines.
But MarColMar didn't just copy the CETME L, they employed the newest materials and manufacturing processes (like robot welding) to produce a rifle even better than could be built in the 1980's.
Again, this rifle is in excellent condition.
I am asking $999.00 $925.00 $899.00 (Cash, No trades). If it doesnt sell at this price, it goes back into my gun safe. Thanks.
