what's the consensus on century's c308? i know some of their stuff is dodgy but this doesnt seem to catch too much flak. what gives?
>inb4 poorfag
more than willing to shill out the money on a ptr91 if you can give me a reason to other than "its better" because yes, a 600 dollar rifle is going to be slightly inferior than a 1k one, but they both seem like solid choices.

maybe if you are a blind retard who's only been on the board for a week
>a 600 dollar rifle is going to be slightly inferior
last I check no one else is literally grinding bolt faces to put parts in spec instead of just building the guns properly and letting shit out the door that literally fires because the weapon was charged besides century

You dont have to do that though you moefaggot fuck
c308 is a shit. Buy the PTR.
Century is absolute shit tier. Dont support them. Get the ptr 91. Great rifle and action design
The c308s are fine, they are not the shitty cetmes of the past. I own one, its accurate enough, eats whatever i feed it and doesn't bitch.
Try the internet. They’ve done in on nearly every semiauto rifle produced.
I’ve personally seen a fal that the destroyed the feed ramp on. By trying to grind away enough metal to get the bolt to close.
why not just make a decent AR10 at the 1k-ish pricepoint then which is objectively superior
>i know some of their stuff is dodgy but this doesnt seem to catch too much flak
whew lad. Its best to simply act like the c308, and any other gun that century actually ""works"" on, doesn't fucking exist.
It’s hit or miss. If you know what to look for your less likely to get a miss.
>grinding heat treated pressure bearing components is an acceptable procedure in firearms production to make up for building the gun improperly
enjoy your century shit you saved $300 on that shoots half dollars, make sure to chamber a round with the rifle pointed at the base of your skull
Why would you want to put 308 in a di system?
Because shooting in a hobby and almost everyone already has an AR-15 so they want something on a different platform to fullfill their need for variety and autistic larping with a Cold War era rifle.
You’re a really dumb melanin enriched person. The G3 action is well known as being inaccurate to begin with.
For much they sell for, their is no reason you should spend the extra $200 and get the PTR. That aside, they are century built spanish cetme parts kits and they function just fine, sometimes the firing pin needs replacing and has worse accuracy than any other battle rifl. The finish and overall apperance of the rifle is real ugly though, basic parkerization with a lot of noticeable weld marks(plus ugly AF pictany rail imo) and a polymer lower.
My bad massive typo there i meant to say SHOULDNT. As in DO pay the extra $200 and buy the PTR G3 clone, it is much better than the cetme
>set barrel too far back because you a retarded century nigger
>grind heat treated bolt face to make up for it
>this is acceptable to nu/k/iddies
All these PTR fags trying to justify their overpriced rifles.
The G3 is an outdated platform. An AR10 is going to be more accurate, cheaper, and lighter.
The only reason to get a G3 type rifle is for aesthetic reasons so get whatever the fuck you want.
Everyone else, if you post pictures of your gun more often than you shoot it, consider Instagram.
They did this for the older HK91 clones back in the 90s and early 2000s. This run Seema to be pretty uniform in quality, as the parts are original Cetme, and the receiver and barrel is PTR.
AR 10s are garbage, unreliable, boring, parts are a cluster ack of incompatibility and they beat themselves to death in no time at all. Durability is shit with ar-10s hence why no serious military unit fields them in 2019.
So what your saying is ptr91 arnt hit or miss i guess they never miss huh?
The C308 is literally their old CETME sporter just with a slightly lower likelihood of being a hack job. Basically 30-40% chance compared to the previous 50% chance.
Just spend a bit more and get a PTR. If you want to be extra poor about it, you can the baseline GI model for even less on the used market for just slightly over what the C308 costs new, typically with a decent number of mags and barey shot.
Tons of poorfags buy them because it’s an affordable way into battle rifles when it comes to the gun itself, but realize after that they can’t afford to feed it even though cheaper steel is fine for them. Then they sale them for $100-$200 less when they realize they’re not getting what they paid for it back after its up for a few weeks.
These people aren't really answering your question fully. Yes, century has spotty history of QC. Yes, they grind bolt heads. No, none of that is ok. I have a c308 because it was less than 500 and I knew the CETME specs and can work on them. A g/vg bolt head assembly and locking piece are easy to come by, not expensive. Know the proper specs and how to take the measurements and you're fine.
That being said, buy the ptr. It's an all-new rifle made to hk91 specs, not a cobbled together surplus parts kit you may need to tinker with. You have access to all new pieces and don't have to rely on a fluctuating market of variable condition surplus parts. Don't get the idea that you can just swap any part you want, either. There's not as much interchangeability as you'd think.
Buy something, though. Great rifles that eat whatever shit you feed them.
Fuck you you stupid cheap pile of shit. You and the rifle. Poorfags never learn seriously. You deserve whatever troubkes and harm that rifle brings you. No ptr did not build them no ptr did not touch them. Ptr supplied century with a receiver "a flat" for them to stamp. Ptr did not give them those shitty cast trunnions that crack or weld the fuckstick garbage rods either so fuck you before you go there.
Are you fucking retarded? Shows how much you know about bolt gap, rollers and the rifles action in general i wish they kb as violently as an ak so you could go fuck yourself with one.
So what they could have a fucking hk psg barrel but if its welded shittly by century monkeys then its absolutely worthless wouldnt you agree you dumbass?
Someone did a video on it and it discharged randomly when when the bolt was slapped down. Scared him shitless.
Yes, I would agree. That's why I said I tend to believe this run is actually pretty good. The examples I have seen have nice welds and are otherwise nicely done.
A lot less than anything produced by century.
Great question OP, I’ve never seen this discussed on this board. Can’t wait to hear the answers.
So kommandos what’s the verdict???
hey mr frreefloat fudd
>"why u need anytang utter den uh AYYYYYARRRRR"
Ar-10s jam all the fucking time.
C308's slamfire on the regular. Absolute shit.
ARs are cold war era rifles too.
