Once there, Vorgrimler went to work on a roller-delayed rifle chambered for the experimental 7.92x40mm cartridge. The French initially attempted to prevent him from leaving the country, but Vorgrimler and family were allowed to move to Madrid in September 1950. Vorgrimler was recruited to work for CETME in Spain. Note the references at the end, they are very good ones and not of the "internet".Īlso with a little further research on your part you will find why the chambers were is just as I said also. You have it bacwards BTW HK did not develop the GS but were licensed by CETME, of Spain, to produce it. Here is the actual facts, in brief, regarding by whom and when the CETME rifle was developed. I'm not one one to use Wikpedia as a reference unless the information is well referenced. Better to make your incorrect derogatory comments to/about me there don’t you think? No need for you to ruin another thread with such on the CBF is there?Īdditionally I know you've a heartburn with internet and written references (the 3 on ballistics you asked for, I gave and you then criticised among numerous other examples). Wouldn’t your of this thread with a pi**ing contest with me be better served over o the AR forum? I have withdrawn from joe’s thread so you, he and gear have it to yourselves.

Perhaps if you hable espanole you can read it from the horses mouth………instead of “on the internet”…. Subsequent CETMEs all have fluted chambers as do all HK M91s.ħ.62 CETME and 7.62 NATO were for use in the M1916s, FR7 and the FR8s rebarreled to “7.62”. Subsequently all the CETME’s in use had their chambers fluted or were rebarreled. The former CETME German engineers now at HK discovered that fluting the chambers solved the extraction problem. At one time Spain issued 7.62 CETME ammo for use in rifles and 7.62 NATO for use in the SAWs in use. The CETME cartridge was developed to use in such. The original CETME 7.62 NATO rifles had unfluted chambers and extraction was a problem. It was designed for other cartridges than the 7.62 NATA and was adopted to it. Perhaps you should do some research other than on the internet, eh?įact is the CETME was in development before the HK91 (same engineers left Spain and went to HK).
