Thanks for letting us know! I just ordered one of these. I just finished my first kit build (a reweld/semi-auto conversion of a PPS43, registered as an SBR, in 9mm) and it was a LOT of work but a great learning experience. I've put about 350 rounds through it so far - with a few failures and tweaks needed to fix them. I have a CETME C308 parts kit as well as most of the parts for an AK but it will be a while before I get to either of those.
Great content as always, wish I lived in the USA to do this type of thing, would love a sten Mk V kit to build, saw mark serbu with his MG42 parts kit the other day
@@The_Casual_Collector what I’ve learnt from collecting ww2 kit is the price only goes up on items, when you first an item it’s expensive then wait a couple of years and the price has only gone massively up.
Nice kit, I would have love to get that mag loader. I've got one with my kit. I too got a Cetme-C kit before Christmas last year, got it for $129.00, beautiful kit plus with a USA barrel, plus I also got G3/FMP Portugal type kit as well with all matching numbers plus a USA barrel, that was about $319.00 I am super happy with both kits . Oh yeah' don't for get to get the metal flats, to complete the recever. I got both the G3 & Cetme-C flats for $79.00 each Love the video and the wood furniture looks pretty nice, good lucky my friend, thank you for sharing, God Bless
Building my second CETME C kit now. Waiting for my barrel, flat and rear sight to show up next week. I bought one the cheap kits APEX had. Have my kit ready to go. I made my own jig for the first flat and worked fine. Not hard to build these kits at all.
@bigfootlivz very cool, that's awesome! So here's my question, do you not have to check bolt gap and headspace? I've been see a lot of divided answers on this.
@@The_Casual_Collector Yes. I spaced my bolt gap before installing the trunnion/barrel into the receiver and rechecked, then drilled and pinned and worked perfectly. It looks like both your trigger packs are missing the ejector axis pins. Probably fell out in transit and out the bottom of the box unless packed separately. Converting the pack to semi is simple as is converting the bolt. The denial part that needs to be welded to the receiver is about the most complicated of the conversion. These are easy and fun projects. Built two and may do a third.
@@bigfootlivz interesting, thanks for that information and pointing out the pins, I didn't see them in the box, but I'll probably have to order some. I'm hoping to find the time to get mine built someday.
One thing that I have done(don’t have any cetme parts) is when I bought a ptr91, I bought a trigger pack that has a trigger job preformed on it. It was completed, so I swapped and have an extra semi auto trigger pack. I would be curious to see if it fits right on a cetme build.
@infamousjustice7083 interesting, I believe you can swap the entire trigger group, but research it first for sure. Plenty of forums out there discussing it.

@sbreheny cool, thats a huge undertaking, wow...yeah, I completely understand...so many kits/projects, so little time lol.

@eltelboy8492 I hear you, yeah those MG42 kits are nice but really expensive!
@@The_Casual_Collector what I’ve learnt from collecting ww2 kit is the price only goes up on items, when you first an item it’s expensive then wait a couple of years and the price has only gone massively up.
@eltelboy8492 exactly, and thats why when I see a new kit come into the US, I almost always buy one at least.

@V8SKULLS thank you sir, you're welcome, yep RTG Parts is a good source for those flats.
@The_Casual_Collector yes, that's where I bought mine from👍👍👍
I built one of these kits. I used the trigger group that came with the kit. I made it semiautomatic. Yes you need a slot in the bolt.
@@navyvet7665 cool, thanks for that, I wasn't 100% it that applied to these like the HK G3s.

I have to get a kit now i have had an original Spanish bayonet for the cetme for a long time ago 250 is not bad at the end of the day
@user-qr6hd7vg2j yep, I think I got an email from Apex the other day, seems like they were selling the kits for $150.

Is the trigger pack US made compliant parts for 922r
@Comike27 that's a good question, I wonder if @CenterfireSystemsKY would know the answer.
Get a 3d printer and print the reciever that accepts ar fcg and youre in there
