Item Description: FS/FT is an early 3 digit serial numbered Century Cetme built at the St. Albans factory. These are known to be of higher quality than later century stuff that came out of the Georgia factory. Here is a little more about these St. Albans Guns.

In 1999, St. Albans, Vermont and Boca Raton, Florida based Century International Arms purchased tooling from Tempe, Arizona based Special Weapons, Inc. which had formerly been used by Special Weapons to produce high quality investment cast stainless steel (legally) semiautomatic G3 rifle receivers. Additionally, the company purchased a large number of unissued and excellent condition issued CETME rifles as well as the attendant spare parts. Century engineers made subtle changes to the Special Weapons tooling, the most prominent being the inclusion of a CETME style rear sight base (the CETME iron sights differ substantially from those of the G3, hence the need for a differently machined rear sight base). The CETME rifles, upon arrival in the United States, were disassembled and the receivers destroyed in accordance with federal law. Century then built new CETME style rifles by assembling the parts kits onto the newly produced stainless steel receivers.

She's sat in my safe since I bought it. comes with 13 G3 Mags. will consider trading for a M4 style AR-15.
