Any 80 builders here

yeah, you buy a CETME C from Apex for $109 when they are on sale... then you spend $70 for the flat.... and weld in the semi shelf, press a new barrel in the trunion.... boom. you have a piece of Spanish Military history for $500

I remember when CETME kits were 50 bucks, AK kits were 69-89 bucks including barrels, and often came with another free parts kit, FAL kits were 150 with barrel, and I think I paid 50 bucks for my VZ58 kit with barrel. Sad to see those days behind us...
