Would you make this trade?

[Spots]

I have my Ar-15 up for sale right now. Its a custom built AR with less than 100n rds down range. Spikes m4 1:7 twist barrel, Aero upper and lower, quad rail, magpul sights, etc. I've wanted a .308 semi gun for a long time now. And a guy has this he is willing to trade for my Ar and 6 mags.

 

This is his: Century arms 308, 5 magazines, 500 rounds of .308, utg rail & grip, swivel bi pod, quick detach sight mount,and compensator.

So would you make this trade? Anything I should watch out for on the century guns? What kind of accuracy could I expect of a rifle like that? Thanks guys

Still nah, I'd pass. An FAL, whole different ball game, depending on the builder. I've read allot of negative reviews on Century. From what I've read, if they make a good one, its ok. If they make a bad one, its bad. Plus the design doesn't grab me over an AR. Who knows, maybe more comfortable, just doesn't look it. Then again neither does the FAL and I like those so...

Edited it for you quick on the draw guys. I was trying to get it typed out on my phone and hit the reply button

[mikegideon]

This bunch sure is a lot of help. I got nothin' either. 

[gregintenn]

It sure is ugly! :stunned:

[UncleJak]

I think yours is better. Not that I know a lot about either one...

Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

[Blitzen]

No.

[peejman]

I think he's getting a better deal. CETME's aren't exactly the cream of the 7.62 battle rifle crop.

[gregintenn]

I guess It depends on whether you prefer to hear "pew pew pew", or "BOOM BOOM BOOM". :D

[GuitaRx]

I wouldn't do it..

You can't say that to a young 'un. They grew up on those sissy rounds :)

[Monkeyman2500]

Well don't know if that is a Cetme or not. If it is you need to try it out first. They used to be pretty cheep. I had one and it was a beast, good gun but heavy and stiff. Chambering a round took a fifty pound curl, lol. But I will tell you that beast never jammed.

[Tncobra]

Those rifles were about $375 ten years ago, same rifle today. The early Hess receivers cracked.

Pass

[Dolomite_supafly]

Make sure you can shoot it first if you do decide. There are a lot of CETME rifles with problems and Century has issues as well.

Personally I wouldn't.

[R1100R]

I wouldn't do it. It's because of that rifle I will never do business with Century again.

 

I had a lot of issues with my CETME.  Century built that rifle and most were POS. The rollers were off spec and they ground the bolts on the rear to make them headspace. I finally got mine straight and traded it in. Took a beating.

[Spots]

All I needed to know. Thanks guys

Tapatalk ate my spelling.

[gregintenn]

There likely is a reason he's wanting to trade it off.

[austin7.62]

+1, I'd stay away.

[R_Bert]

I got a H&R Handi-Rifle I'll trade.  even throw in the scope and a gun-sock to sweeten the deal.

Not no but heck no. Roller lockers use a fluted chamber to aid extraction. It mangles brass. They are not well suited for reloaders.
Much more costly to feed. They don't have a gas system, which might seem like a good thing, but they have a really strange recoil impulse. And mine was the most belligerently loud SOB that ever was.
I hated mine.
If this was me, I'd walk away.

[McGarrett]

More than likely the reason is because it is so ugly.

 

Sorry but I am partial to AR's so I would just keep it and pass on the trade.

[Fourtyfive]

HK G3's and 91's are the sheet , a CETME from CA is not. From the pics I say NO WAY. If you like that style and want .308 then go to

otherwise get a FAL http://www.dsarms.com

 

I know that was not the answer you were asking but just my  :2cents:
