Hi all;
Which one guys AND gals?
K3B .223 or Cetme .308
Olympic Arms K3B
+ can buy new from J and S down the road
+ low recoil for daughter 14 who shoots old/cheap/ not too accurate SKS and small (filipino) wife who hasnt shot before
+ M4 adjustable stock-same as above
+ tons of accessories
+ fairly cheap ammo
+ American
- everybody has an AR-15 style rifle
- do not have anything that shoots .223
- did I mention everybody has one !!!!! does say something for the design and availability

CA / Cetme .308
+ shoots same ammo as my M1A
+ i want one
+ did I mention I want one??
+ not as common as AR's
- ammo not as cheap for the better stuff
- HAVE to buy used
- unknown quality from CA,some good, some bad, some really bad
-I have a great rifle, my girls do not

What do you think??? Buy for my girls, or buy for me? Really leaning for the K3B,but dont really like AR's. I think I answered my own question, but looking for opinions

If I wanted a cheap AR-15, I would buy a CMMG bargain bin rifle, not an Olympic Arms.

If I wanted an awesome AR-15 at a very affordable price I'd get a BCM.

If I wanted a G3-type rifle, I'd get a PTR-91, not a CETME.

Not gonna say you *shouldn't* buy the firearms you have selected, but just putting some other options on the table.
