Looking for a good CETME build tutorial

[Gunsmith Dan]

AGI ( www.americangunsmith.com ) has nice videos about parts kits plus how to put it all together and what to watch for.

Tutorials are a ton of work and when you post one it opens you up to criticism and ridicule by everyone who's sister's boyfriend who knew a guy that built an AR while watching a video once has to say.

Rather than putting together one long tutorial I broke mine down into sections to cover just the stuff where a wrong turn can cost some money. You'd be surprised how many people don't set their cocking tube gap. On my last two HK33's I even had to cut the receiver top-tube back to get the gap right, never had to do that on a Cetme. Unfortunately, you will have to be a WG member to see the threads, but it's free and the site is filled with great people.

Good luck with your builds, don't hesitate to ask questions.
Here was my first build thread (shorty cetme and GHG1) It's kind of embarrassing but it does serve to show the learning curve: http://www.weaponsguild.com/forum/in...3177#msg103177

Now you just want to mess with my printer

Saved, thank you.

I'll be @ Roco's in the morning.



*Edit, what's up with all this late evening barrage of questions....?

What, you normally prepare in advance or something?

I'm a member on both. However, the threads on Militaryfirearms that refer to CETME tutorials mostly have broken links, and the rest have a bit of info on this particular task here and there. And I do remember seeing complete tutorials, I even saved a few, but it looks like I managed to lose them somehow. On Weaponsguild, apparently I can't access all of the content. Either that, or some of the links don't work.

Google isn't much help either, as it refers to the very threads on Militaryfirearms and Weaponsguild that I went through, or to the threads on other forums that ultimately refer to those. Arizona Response Systems used to have a good tutorial (one of those I "saved"), but they took it off their site for some reason.

You need a post count of 25-40 to get into some of the content areas. The content areas are broken out into CETME/HK and CETME/HK Tuturials, so you should find what you want if you start posting with greater frequency. The mods are unwavering on post count requirements and they don't count the "me too" stuff at the tail of someone elses threads. Post a specific question and you WILL get an informed answer and get the ball rolling. You'll hit the min post count before you know it. One new user did it in a single thread!

Even better, thank you

Be aware there are some missing steps in that one.
