I have read the HK design chews up brass, is that true?
the century rifle is the cetme a rifle developed by Spain and production rights were sold to HK Who made the clone.most parts interchange between the two.
Um, yes Century makes a CETME clone.. but we are talking HK93 (5.56) rifles and not 7.62 NATO CETMEs. The HK equivalent of the CETME is the HK91. Many of the current import kits are from Malaysia and were G33 select fire.. Century, Vector and custom builders are making them into the semi auto 93 configs. Some guys with Vectors and custom builds with new US barrels are reporting 1 MOA groups
The Vector is about $1250
The C93 from Century is $500
The custom build I'll eventually put together is going to be about $1400 but it will be pretty sweet
If you know where to get a C93 for 500.00, please let me know. Thanks
TRlSMN,
Thanks for the info. Yes, they are 499.00, but only come with one mag.
I did call Hendersen Defense, as TOVO, refered to above and they have them for 569.00 (on sale).
They do test fire the guns in checking for proper firing, extracting and bolt gaps. They mention they vary.
They also say you cannot return the rifles to them if you have bolt gap problems, but the gun function otherwise.
It might be worth paying a little extra to someone for test firing a gun before you purchase?
Thanks for the info.
Well the deal doesn't seem to bad with an extra mag and the bayonet. There policy of checking the bolt gap and then not offering a return if bolt gap is bad is somewhat baffling to me though.
..Aren't the Vectors discontinued?
I wish HK would make a special run of these rifles with their nitro carburized HE finish on the steel. That would sell me in an instant. I'm still trying to figure out if they process the steel in their SL8 or G36 rifles in the same manner...
Since HK is now in the USA this is a definite possibility. I would love an original HK 93
It seems, though, that they aren't at all interested in the US market, even though it's one of their largest. I don't understand, when they have such potential here, and they are already well established, even in the US. Legendary, IMO.
They seem more interested in selling G36s to the Georgians, but that's another story.
