I recently aquired a Century Arms HK-G3 clone. It functions OK but the fit and finish left a little something to be desired. Any thoughts?

I have one, got it just before Kalifornia declared it a deadly assault weapon. A little rough, but it shoots very well, is accurate, and have never had a jam. I just put an 8-24 ATN scope on it (2 pound scope with a 75mm bell). NOW it really looks mean!

if i am not mistaken all the century guns are demilled CMTE rifles with new recievers which could explain some of it , also century is kinda known as the jennings of assault type rifles , some work , some dont , so if it functions well your ahead of the game if not get it refinished when ya send it to the smith to fix LOL the CMTE is a nice action tho real robust and reasonably accurate

Redneck hit it if it runs your in good shape my cetme from them works well except with some mags

If what you have is a CETME (that's what I have), you will find some help here-

A friend and I bought the last pair a company had. Neither will run through ten rounds without jamming. From what I have read, Century imports various parts, makes the ones needed to make it US legal, and throws parts together. If you got one that functions well, you came out ahead.

I have an L1A1 from CAI (as we are discussing them as suppliers) - and it was NOT the best when I got it. Could hardly complain actually because it was a raffle prize

Anyways - did some work on it - in particular smoothing and re-profiling the feed chamfers - and now it runs pretty well - tho I prefer my genuine FAL if truth be known and that is on an Imbel - way superior.

I had a L1A1 from CAI. It functioned fine, but the trigger was crappy (almost as bad as an SKS) and it kicked like a mule no matter what the gas setting! My M1 Garand is a ***** cat in comparison.

It also had the thumbhole stock (which wasn't too bad) and appeared to be painted black (which was a bad job that peeled and wore quickly). I sold it after a few months.

CAI's stuff does seem to be a bit of a crap shoot.

Thanks. We'll both have to go there. I mis-typed the original. We both bought one of them and they both have feeding problems. Mine ended up a little worse than his. Mags don't seem to matter, we've swapped out the 6 we have between us and they all work the same, crummy.
