Good Points: This weapon can be the most reliable rifle you've seen. It is currently in use in Iraq and Afganistan, by private military contractors for its reliabilty, accuracy, and caliber(.308). I love this gun, it is the best open range weapon of assault made.
Bad Points: Like everyone else that buys one, you must love this rifle, period. Don't buy one if you are a first timer unless you are wanting to gain a greater understanding of how this firearm works. Do some research on forum discussions. It will require a certain love to be completely satifactory.
General comments: I have replaced all the furniture and installed a +2 roller set. My extractor spring was worn and eventually broke so I replaced that. That's it. Other than that It's just pure accessories added on(ie. bayonet, green dot, stanag mount, collapsable stock((m4 style)), removed the Century "muzzle Blast Enhancer" and replaced with a flash suppressor.
Favorite in my collection.

The centre is accurate, shots rapid fire very well, great sights out the box, operation of gun works well, smooth shotting. On the downside the round feed is a little ruff,cleaning of gun takes alot, balance of gun leads to the front. The Century Arms Black Widow is a good air rifle.

I bought the rifle to use primarily as a hunting rifle and because I like military rifles and am partial to the 7.62x51/.308 Win caliber. Having the delayed-blowback bolt design, recoil is kept to a minimum and is not unpleasant. I highly reccomend this type of rifle to anyone who is responsible enough to handle it.

I first bought my rifle for around $429 as a original cetme sporter. I decided to try to improve the overall performance of the rifle. I installed a H&K military green stock set with the larger recoil spring assembly, H&K firing spring, firing pin, cocking assembly, rollers, bayonet lug, and a couple of other H&K parts. After I installed the new internal parts the rifle seemed to function better , as well as open and close more smoothly. I went out and fired 20 rounds at rapid fire a ...

I have nothing bad to say about this rifle. It is one of the best rifles i have ever owned. I can unload rounds through it as fast as any other rifle. I have never had any problems with the rifle. You can buy H & K magaines at a low price and the work just as good. It is a very versitle wepon.

I would recommend the rifle to anyone! I got mine when they were only $269! Now they are worth a lot more! As I said before, the rifle has been very reliable. I proved this one day when I took my neighbors kid shooting (Marine corp) and we put "500 bad Rounds" through it, (The ones you can get for about $90), And not one miss fired! The Cetme's bolt did get sticky but a little cleaning cleared that up!

I can fire maybe one out of ten rounds, the main bolt will not slide into battery when it chambers a round. It locks up just fine when a round is not chambered. I tried using a fine lapping compound at first to polish out the inside of the receiver and that helped, also polished out many of the tool marks on the bolt. The result was a bolt that you could actually hear working better and smoother. However it still will not reliably chamber a round. I tried calling Century Arms and was told to sen ...

I am extremely happy with my Cetme. Just put a Tapco bi-rail claw mount and Tasco Golden antler 3x9 40mm scope on it and can't wait for hunting season.

As an inexpensive rifle with the looks of a HK, I think there are possibilities!

I would buy another one if I were to loose this one. It is my everything rifle. It shoots any ammo I feed it. My expensive rifles hardly get used.

The Century Arms Black Widow Cetme Sporter .308 I bought about three years ago from Century arms was at first a complete disappointment. It didn't accept G-3 mags, for one thing, and required work with a dremel tool to get most Cetme mags to fit it. It frequently jammed for reasons I could not diagnose until I really started digging into it. I really wanted to make this rifle work, because when it did, its accuracy (despite a strangely rough looking bore) was superb. In fact, it was a tack-d ...

These Century Arms Black Widow Cetme Sporter guns often get poor reviews, which are only partially deserved. Century has terrible quality control, so about 50% of their CETME's require work to get them operating smoothly. If you like to tinker on guns, this is a good project gun for you. If not, look somewhere else. If you are willing to put in a little time and work, you will find yourself with one of the greatest battle rifles of all time, just don't expect it right out of the box.
After a ...

The Century Arms has major chamber problems, it is back to Century for repair. Problem is I have owned the gun for 9 weeks, only had it home twice to test fire it, now a wait of another 5-6 weeks before I get it back.
BUYER BEWARE !!!!!!

I purchased my Cetme Sporter from SOG. I must have got an exceptionally good rifle since the only problem I have had has been a failure to feed that I eventually discovered was due to the absolutely pathetic steel magazines fit and function. I found that my Cetme works exceptionally well with the HK mags and I have had absolutely no problems with feeding extraction or any other function since changing over (the aluminum mags needed some slight deburring/polishing to fit my magwell properly). I h ...

I bought this Century Arms Black Widow Cetme Sporter .308 at the gun ahow about a year ago for $290 to use as a high-powered plinker. I had similar problems with spent shells not properly extracting and the rifle firing with the bolt not coming all the way forward and locking. I let my gunsmith look at it and he told me that what I needed to do was to keep it clean and apply a heavy coat of high quality grease to the bolt carrier and the inside of the receiver during the 1000 to 2000 round break ...
