CETME
- Field-Assembling the CETME "C"
|
|
PLEASE NOTE
that the rifle used for these images is a deactivated one, so some of
the pictures will show little differences (absence of firing pin and soldered
firin pin hole in the bolt head).
|
We'll begin the reassembly
by placing the firing pin (not shown) followed by its spring into its
place in the bolt carrier.
|
 |
 |
Then, we'll slip in the
firing pin carrier...
Note the
upperside position of the protrusion on the firing ping carrier, that
holds the piece in its place and prevents it from being incorrectly
inserted.
|
... and we'll fix it in
place by a 90° clockwise twist.
|
 |
 |
It will be hold in place
by a little protrusion.
Do
not expect a click, as the carrier is held in place by the firing ping
spring forcing the protrusion against the inner side of the bolt carrier.
However, let it rest horizontal to avoid problems when inserting the
lock head.
|
Now, we'll insert the
lock head...
Note that
the head is to be inserted facing upside down.
Note also
that the locking rollers are now free.
|
 |
 |
... until it rests against
the face of the bolt carrier...
Now the planes
of the firing pin carrier will force the locking rollers to protrude.
|
... and give it a 180°
clockwise twist to lock it into place.
Again,
you can need to use the sling to help you to turn the bolt head.
|
 |
 |
Now, we'll have the bolt
head locked in its place and ready to be inserted again in the barrel
assembly.
Note that
the locking rollers are protruding again.
|
We'll place back the fire
assembly and lock it with its pin.
|
 |
 |
A little click
will show that the pin has been locked in place.
|
But right now we have
a little problem, as the protruding locking rollers won't allow the
bolt assembly to slide into place.
Then, remember your old
Jedi master: "Use the Force".
So, without further hesitation,
we'll grip the bolt assembly by its guide and we'll gently ram it backwards
into the barrel assembly...
|
 |
 |
... thus forcing back
the locking rollers ...
This
will also force forwards the lock head.
Please do
not worry - this is the way it's intended to work, and you're not submitting
the rifle to an undue stress.
|
... and extracting the
bolt assembly ready to be inserted.
|
 |
 |
Now, we'll turn the bolt
assembly facing forwards, insert it into the barrel assembly ...
|
... making sure it fits
into the assembly ...
|
 |
 |
... and give it a final
push ...
|
... to help it all the
way down the barrel assembly.
If
the lock assembly doesn't go all the way forwards, the fire assembly
won't lock into the barrel assembly. Make sure the cocking handle is
in its forfward position.
|
 |
 |
Now, we'll push closed
the fire assembly ...
|
... held it in place ...
|
 |
 |
... and place the buttstock
assembly to secure it.
|
We'll slide forwards the
buttstock assembly...
|
 |
 |
... take the pins from
their hole in the buttstock...
|
... and put them back
in place, thus locking the butsstock assembly.
|
 |
 |
Now, we'll pull the cocking
handle to make sure all works nicely.
|
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
We have now a fully assembled
and working rifle.
