Well , this last October I decided to beautify my Cetme , It is an early Century build with the cast receiver. It is unfired since it was purchased in 2000 . I am hoping to shoot it this spring.
I bought a piece of Maple burl wood and sent it off to a gentleman in New Mexico (who I have prevously seen his work on another board), to make me a set for this rifle. I do believe it turned out stunning.
Thanks for looking.
p.s. He doesn't do this for a living only so many per year, I got lucky.

That will definitely gather a crowd at the range. Looks like it just came out the CETME "Custom Shop" - beautiful wood.
