Most times century = junk.

That is the best part : dirt cheap Mags. HK brand too. I love that

Yeah I got lucky they were all supposed to be c grade but that one one top with wear is the only one all others are new in grease why they grease aluminum I don't know.

They aren't terrible, but I hated mine as a lefty (that said I once had a PTR91 and sold it as well). For the money I'd much rather have a PA10/AR10 for <$600, lighter, more accurate, more ergonomic. Honestly the only good thing I can say about the C308 is that magazines are dirt cheap.

Yeah as a lefty no no no . Don’t blame you there . One gun I love that is left my friendly is the FN FS2000. It’s lefty safe

I found a deal a while back on c grade and they were all great. I paid .79 cents each lol

Could'nt agree more with this recommendation.

I think occasionally I need one (this type) really prefer an HK but no $$
I am an M1A / M14 guy and will remain such but I love the 308

The 7.62 nato never did much for me . If I could convert all my nato to 7.62x54R then i would. I do love that round.

I have a cetme, their older model (I bought it about 10 years ago). Never had a problem. Their newer model has the rail, paddlemag (but not the metal trigger group) which are a plus. The Cetme/HK/G3 forums have really good reviews on the newer models. You can't have a pretty decent rifle for what the entry PTR gun is.

Have one and love have put a bunch of various ammo threw it and mostly surrpressed shooting it's holding up great.

How does it shoot suppressed? Did you need a thread adapter?

Most times century = junk.

Not really. They just happen to push the most amount of guns (WASR, Galil, Cetme, etc) so their pool of problems is larger than most due to overall volume.
Most times IOINC = junk
Most times DDI = junk
etc
