after some rework they run. Some of the paddle wheels spin very easily, probably easy
to bump to the wrong range.
PTR 91 has the reputation of being much higher build quality than the Centurys and is
built like a HK91, far better rear sight, safety that works the right way (down = off) IMO
safety alone means I would never own a CETME, IMO dangerous design in a world
where essentially all the battle rifle safeties work the other way.
