All the pictures of this gun have the early long handguard. They are not the later standard handguard. I think that was an early or pre-production gun or... I think most are the versions Apex brought in.
CETME Model L (.223) in the US

First, I'm not really trying to say the "marine LV" was a model made before or after the "DMR LV". I'm saying that the "marine LV" is not an earlier version of the "DMR LV". They're two separate models that, oddly, have the same name.
Second, I've seen at least a couple pictures of "marine LVs" with "new-style" handguards. It wouldn't shock me if they weren't factory, of course - kinda like how you see M16A1s running around with A2 handguards sometimes. But I wouldn't assume no new "marine LVs" were ever made.

Bumping this up to the top, got mine finished and up and running the other day.
It's a fun little toy absolutely no recoil at all!

I was just thinking about this thread and how you made out. Damn that looks nice.

What a fantastic thread, Ian sighting and all. Ian's video series is a fantastic walkthrough of what's actually needed to bring one of these junk piles back to life, and in a lot of ways, it seems like a far simpler build than even an AK can be.
For anyone who's interested in taking the CETME build plunge, Apex has the model C (7.62/.308) parts kits on sale for $124 a pop. I just snagged a couple of them.
Now, what we REALLY need is someone with the time/money/tooling expertise to make an Stgw 57 flat...

I still have a CETME LV parts kit and the optics (HUGE BARGAIN), but need a barrel... anyone still selling those, or am I just gonna need to buy a 93 barrel and turn it down?

Do you have the flat and semi parts kit? I think I am going to have a spare flat, semi parts, and a Gen 2 barrel.
None of the above. Sounds like you might have a buyer.

Sounds good. Stuff we ordered from HMG is still at a friends house so probably wouldn't be able to deal with it until I stop by MD again. If you aren't in a rush we can probably work something out.

If anyone is interested, we have a couple of extra complete build kits available with everything needed to build an L.

He doesn't have them but we haven't forgotten.

I was interested when this thread first started but lost track of it. I'd be interested in getting a kit depending on price

Yeah, I handed off the stack to Matt to get them bulk engraved. I think he's making as much progress on them as I did
Yeah, guilty. I was waiting to get a LC parts kit, so I could get it engraved accordingly. Well that parts kit has been a lot harder to find than I thought!
I did just buy one of those MarColMar CETME Ls. Probably do a LV from them too. Probably skip the builds.
