A local gun shop has recently gotten a shipment of mil surplus rifles. The two I am interested in are a CETME and a L1A1 both by century international arms. Which should I get?

What's the shop asking for, pricewise on each?

The L1A1 is the superior rifle. I think wholesale on it is about $390, the Cetme is about $300. The dealers I've talked with who carry both say quality, headspace varies alot with the Cetme, no problems with the L1A1.

They want $325 for the CETME. The L1A1 was $400 and some change I don't exactly remember.

Well I decided to go with the L1A1 and I'll be damned if they wern't sold out all ready. Not to worry though they are supposed to get another shipment on thursday.

Just a side note but if you go with a FN by all means go with the METRIC pattern guns not the INCH pattern. There is much more metric pattern
components/accessories available. Inch pattern magazines are MUCH pricer than Metric.

Hello:
Just a short note here. Metric pattern magazines will fit inch versions, but not vise versa. It's that lug in the front that differs.
