My Portuguese H&K G3 Clone

[highpower]

It would be happier with German HK wood instead of CETME, but German HK G3 wood stuff is stupid expensive ($400 a set). I had the CETME furniture already. I compared it to a buddy's early HK furniture, and the only difference in the wood was how the sling attached to the stock. The front of the buffer retention plate was slightly different, but onlt took a minute to modify to HK spec.

The differences between HK and CETME are subtle unless you know what to look for:
HK




CETME

reminds me I really need some wood on the FAL., that looks excelltn

You're right, they do look awesome

Slight difference on handguard. HK uses a pin, CETME is friction fit with a spring tab. The rear sling attachment on the CETME is similar to K98 Mauser with the leather sling end passing through a slot in the stock, and secured by a sling a retention plate and tab on the other side of the stock. WHile the buffer and recoil rod is slightly different, the CETME works fine on the G3.
