    BRN-10 & CETME L review

    How cool is this? Did anyone ever think we'd see either of these rifles for sale in mass quantity?

    The BRN-10 is nearly perfect although I imagine most people would have rather had something that looks like the Portuguese model.

    I don't "get" the demand for the CETME.

    I'd much rather see the Stg44, FG42 or Stg45 in mass production.

    I think the demand is for something different rather than specifically for the CETME. It isn't like that gun has a proud military history. With that said, anyone who enjoys and/or collects HK rifles will probably want one.

    Wasn't Hill and Mac working on an StG44 clone?

    I think it's this. People are kinda bored of AR15's.

    I've been waiting two years for delivery on mine. It is supposed to be a magazine problem.

    Maybe, I won't say you're wrong since it would seem subjective but Brownells and others are selling Retro AR's of various vintages. As a 2 gun shooter in any given match I'll see maybe 2-3 non AR type rifles and those will usually be AK's. Maybe it's my AO but the AR-15 seems to rule the roost.

    Import restrictions pretty much killed off anything not an AR or AK unless a person is willing to drop close to $2k on a rifle. You can get an AR15 for just under $1,000 and most of the other good options are about double that. You can't get Daewoo's or FNC's anymore. The Brownell's retro rifles are still AR15's but at least it's a little different.

    Plus, the vast majority of current non-AR rifles are either super expensive (Styer AUG), kind of odd (Tavors, ect), really old (M1a, Mini-14s), or from the crack addled monkeys at Century Arms.

    I would love an Aug, but I love having my kidneys more.

    I think it is an odd and interesting rifle. Right there with stuff like the AR70. Not better than anything and probably not a SHTF gun but fun and enjoyable none the less.
