  The FR8 Spanish Rifle
On one hand, they weren't enough CETMEs to equip all the soldiers (remember, Spain was then under a more-or-less official international freezing, and production was awfully slow), and, on the other, the military magazines were being filled with perfectly usable Mauser rifles that, moreover, fired a cartridge that was facing a near extinction.
As more and more military units were adopting the CETME, the Cetmeton was being banished to the auxiliary units, or as an "expendable" rifle for training uses, and, finally, it was exported as a shooting and hunting rifle.
The FR-8 has a CETME "C" barrel, designed to withstand the presures of the 7'62x51 NATO cartridge (although it's true that the CETME "A" was designed to fire the 7'62x51 CETME, with lesser power), and the locking system of the 1943 rifle (Mauser 1898) designed to withstand the even greater pressures of the 7'92 cartridge.

The CETME rifle, which was initially trialed with other calibers, but eventually chambered for 7.62x51mm NATO caliber, was designed primarily by the German engineer, Ludwig Vorgrimmler, who based his model on a late WWII German prototype assault rifle, the experimental StG45(M).
The CETME, like its descendant, the Heckler & Koch G3 is of modular construction, based around a stamped steel receiver, a pressed in barrel, and a detachable 'trigger group' which encompasses the handgrip, trigger, and fire selector mechanism.
The CETME does not have a bolt hold-open device; when the final cartridge is fired, the bolt does not remain open, and thus the rifleman cannot tell if he has expended his ammunition.

 The CETME Spanish Rifle
The CETME has developed, as years went by, a lot of products for the military, but it will be remembered, undubtedly, by its FUSA (FUSil de Asalto, or Assault Rifle) series.
The Model B was born to fire two cartridges, the 7'62 CETME and 7'62 NATO; their principal innovations were a flash suppressor (doubling as a grenade launcher), an anatomic grip, improved carrying handle, and an integrated bipod.
Using plastic, the Model E was developed to fire the.223 cartridge, it suffered from plastic weaknesses problems ashe plastic parts weren't as tough as their wooden ancestors, and the unrifled chamber made it not as reliable as the Model C. It was adopted in 1980, in the versions L (depicted) and LC (with folding stock).

The CETME has developed, as years went by, a lot of products for the military, but it will be remembered, undubtedly, by its FUSA (FUSil de Asalto, or Assault Rifle) series.
In 1952, the demonstrations began, and so did the critics: The 7'92 CETME projectile hadn't a full metal jacket, so its use was against the war conventions; the NATO adopted the 7'62x51 mm cartridge and, by then, the international isolation began to unfreeze.
The Model B was born to fire two cartridges, the 7'62 CETME and 7'62 NATO; their principal innovations were a flash suppressor (doubling as a grenade launcher), an anatomic grip, improved carrying handle, and an integrated bipod.

 Firearm Review, July 2000
The final iteration of the 7.62mm CETME rifles was the CETME Modelo C. The Modelo C was designed to fire only the 7.62mm NATO cartridge, and was the most handsome of the group, with stock and handguards made from poplar wood (hence the rifle's nickname of "Chopo" or poplar).
The CETME was later produced under license by Heckler and Koch as the G3 rifle; indeed, all G3 rifles produced up to 1961 were required to have the word "CETME" imprinted on the receiver.
The CETME rifles, upon arrival in the United States, were disassembled and the receivers destroyed in accordance with federal law.

 The CETME and the SAIGA
The CETME Modelo B was chambered for the 7.62 NATO, known as the 7.62 x 51 and also as the.308 Winchester.
This is possible, as the great majority of CETME rifles in the United States were assembled from parts.
This is all done because of the rumors of CETME excess headspace - that I have not seen materialize nor have my friends at the local shop encountered in firing and selling over two dozen of these rifles.

 Spanish Battle Rifles
The original CETME prototypes, appearing in 1952, were chambered for a special intermediate 7.92mm round designed specifically by CETME for its new rifle.
In 1958, the CETME-A was further modified and simplified into the CETME-B (also called the CETME-58); the CETME-B had a new sheet-metal handguard, a flush-folding bipod, a new flash suppressor which doubled as a rifle grenade launcher, and fired from a closed bolt in both semiautomatic and automatic fire.
A civilian model, the CETME Sport, was also designed based on the CETME-C, which differed only in being unable to fire on automatic and having a rubber recoil pad on the butt.

 Modern Firearms - CETME A, B, modelo 58, C Assault Rifles
In 1964, CETME introduced the Modelo C, which also was adopted by Spanish Army, Navy and Air Force.
Its key improvements were 4-position diopter sights (instead of the earlier leaf type open sights), wooden handguards instead of earlier steel ones, bipod was made as a separate part and, most important, the chamber was fluted to improve extraction and avoid torn rims and cartridge case failures in harsh environment conditions.
All CETME rifles are firing from the closed bolt.

The Cetme has proven to be one of the best bargains on the gun market in 2002 and stands to be one of the better deals well into 2003.
That logistic advantage alone causes the CETME to outclass the M14 and closely compete with the FAL as a utility survival rifle.
The work that goes into debugging a CETME is never in vain when it comes to resale value since it is very common for used rifles to be cleaned up and "dialed in" with a set of matched magazines to be worth considerably more money than one that comes straight from the maker or distributor.

Interestingly, it was the CETME that came first, and they really don't "cost" any less to produce, just that the bulk of international surplus stock was obtained at lower prices.
Spare magazines for the CETME are so inexpensive that one can consider them disposable when purchased in quantities of ten or more (I just bought 10 for $3 each at www.cheaperthandirt.com).
Spain made a different magazine for their CETME version that has a different set of external ramps for feeding and magazine engagement, and also sports a visible forward banana-bend compared to the straight 90-degree G3/HK91 mags.

The CETME is easy to work on to a small extent, but the FAL is more so (again my opinion).
I think the big draw with the FAL and even the Cetme is people thinking they will really need these for a SHTF situation and they think the AR15 won't do the job and they need a.308 with a large mag capacity.
Tell-tale is to shoot commercial brass in a Cetme, and feel the bumps where the softer brass flowed into them.

Germany bought the manufacturing license for CETME rifle and transferred it to the Heckler und Koch (HK) company, located in Oberndorf.
HK slightly modified the CETME design, and in 1959 the Bundeswehr (W.Germany Army) finally adopted the CETME / Heckler - Koch rifle as G3 (Gewehr 3 - Rifle, [model] 3).
Initial models of the G3 rifle were quite similar to CETME rifles, and even had "CETME" markings on the receivers (until 1961 or so).

 CETME and G3 pics - Military Photos
The pictures of those CETME in action in Commando-Marine hands are very rare unfortunately because they were not really supposed to use those captured weapons....
Stocks were made of walnut wood, but the ones of us who used that rifle called it not cetme but "Chopo"(fl poplar) because they were made of wood and I suppose "chopo" sounds shorter and more funny than "nogal"(walnut), although it´s said spanish recruits 100 years ago called their mausers "chopo" too.
As for buying CETMEs, since the French company Manurhin had the license to build a lot of german weapons including G3s and HK33 (and SIG 540/542/543...) for the export markets, it would not have been interesting to do that.
