These rifles were purchase direct from the factory MarColMar, special request with no top rail, so these will be the closest to the original military issue you can buy. These are some of the newest production GEN 2, 2023 built rifles. After talking with MarColMar, I was told they purchased only 25,000 Cetme L 5.56 Kit to build these rifles. About 12,500 kits were already built as of early this year. More or less, just like any other manufacturer of a battle surplus rifles, once they are out of kits, so goes any further production. Here is your chance to get in now, before price become unreasonable and availability is nearly gone. I don't know of any other manufacture who has rebuilt these rifles, so if you want one this is it.

Additional information subject to change; The CETME design group was established in Spain, and staffed by many Mauser employees like Dr. Ludwig Vorgrimler, who brought their research and designs with them. They would later develop and adopt the CETME C, better known to American shooters and collectors under its German licensed designation: the G3 / HK91 in 7.62x51 / .308. Faced with the transition by militaries to the 5.56 in the 1970s, and with their pending entrance into NATO, Spain and CETME began in earnest to develop a 5.56 rifle for their military. The result was the last roller-locking rifle to be adopted by any military, and the first and only one specifically designed for the 5.56/.223 from the ground up, the CETME L. Unlike its German cousin the HK33, it was not a scaled down version of the 7.62 receiver. A totally new design, the CETME L is thinner and has a smaller form factor. The CETME L served with Spanish troops through the 80s and 90s, and was used during their service with Coalition Forces during Operation Desert Storm. The CETME L continues to serve to this day with Spanish Reserve and Police units. MarColMar uses original Spanish surplus parts, a new made-in-the-USA receiver, a cold-hammer-forged and nitrided barrel (1-in-7), brand new U.S. made furniture, all finished with Cerakote, to produce a beautiful new firearm that is now optimized for US STANAG M-16/AR-15 magazines. MarColMar didn't just copy the CETME L, they employed the newest materials and manufacturing processes (like robot welding) to produce a rifle even better than could be built in the 1980s.
