Posted Wednesday at 1:36 when I had 1:00 pm arrival time for knee surgery and by time I recovered enough to think lucidly it was gone. Have a HK91 and SAR-8 but not an overstamp in collection. I like trying to fill nich items. Anyone know what final sale price was?

I've been shooting my 91 and my 93 on a regular basis for over 30 years. They might be highly collectible and valuable, but they are also built like tanks and pretty much bulletproof.

I shoot my CETMEs and occasionally shoot the G3's. Same experience and half folks at range think CETMEs are HK91/G3's. Don't want to have to reach point of replacing rollers and setting headspace, cocking gap, etc. Shoot a CETME till out of spec and fix or trade. I inspect every Century CETME I see for welded bolt, bolt gap, cocking tube gap, good bore then if able to buy for $500 or less take it home. Have at least five now of which three shoot as well as the G3. One has 4x Starlight, another 1-6x LPVO/I.R. laser and one with irons and I.R. laser that live out of vaults staged around the house. Leaving the G3 or Springfield laying around to burn if house flames up while gone is unnaceptable so the CETMEs are my poor man fluted chamber MBRs for home defense.
