Citme Battle rifle .308 model C

FYI, not looking to rain on your listing, maybe it's a casual use of terms, but the CETME is designed for 7.62x51mm NATO, 150 gr. ammo.

Winchester 308 is over pressured vs NATO in this caliber and could be a problem. I have one and make a point never to shoot 308 out of it.

Interesting. All the vids I watched they were shooting win308. Can you link any more info specific for the CETME? Thanks.

Roller-lock delayed blowback system with fluted chambers are hard on brass to begin with.
7.62 nato round is what these were designed for and it is loaded to a lower pressure than commercial 308 win. ammo. Just the opposite of 5.56 nato versus commercial 223 ammo.

Maybe it's more a concern about damaged brass than pressure. Most don't recommend commercial 308 Win in this design, regardless of brand. CETME rifle - Wikipedia

Opinions and experiences may vary. Personally I shoot my 308 in non-fluted rifles.

I'd like to add on to your comment that I have recently learned these are known to eat brass. Doesn't matter if you're not reloading, but if that's something that you're worried about it's something to keep in mind.
