[QUOTE="preokc, post: 1420074, member: 4622"] The HK and Cetme are blow back operated rifles that use rollers to slow down the blowback operation. I believe the Cetme was the design the HK evolved from. Some parts will intechange but there are small differances. The FAL uses a gas driven piston to operate a sliding or tipping bolt similiar to an sks rifle. Very solid rifle. I like both and have shot many of both rifles. The FAL is a sturdier rifle as it uses a milled reciever vs the HK's stamped sheet metal reciever. Also the bolt design on the HK as it wears has differant sized rollers to replace to set the head spacing. The FAL will hold its tolerace probably forever. What i dont like about both is it seems like mounting optics was an after thought. The HK uses a claw mount and the FAL uses a replaceable dust cover to mount a scope to. BE AWARE of some CAI built cetme rifles as they had alot problems when they were first built! PTR 91 makes a great version of the HK 91 and there prices are getting better too. [/QUOTE]
