CETME 20rd Magazine

Spanish CETME Rifle Magazine

This is a 20-round steel magazine issued by the Spanish Army for the CETME battle rifle, chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO. The CETME design was the basis for the German G3, and the two rifles share a magazine pattern. That makes this magazine useful for CETME Model C owners and for shooters running G3-pattern rifles. It also suits collectors who want original Spanish service kit to go with their rifle.

Features

• 20-Round Capacity — Holds twenty cartridges, the standard service load for the CETME rifle.
• 7.62x51mm NATO — Sized for the full-power NATO rifle cartridge the CETME Model C fires.
• Stamped Steel Body — The body is pressed from sheet steel, giving it the rigidity a battle-rifle magazine needs.
• Ribbed Body Panels — A raised rib runs down each side, stiffening the walls so they resist flexing and denting.
• Formed Upper Section — The top of the body carries pressed-in stops and contours that seat the magazine in the rifle's magazine well.
• Steel Floorplate — A steel plate closes the base of the magazine and holds the spring and follower inside.
• Dark Service Finish — The steel has a dark gray military finish that matches the rifle it was issued with.
• Spanish Army Issue — This magazine was made for Spanish service, not built later for the commercial market.

Spanish Army Issue

The CETME rifle was Spain's standard service arm, and this magazine was produced for that rifle as part of the original military contract. Its all-steel construction follows the same approach as the G3 magazine, which descends from the same design. For anyone restoring a CETME or building out a period-correct kit, an original Spanish magazine is worth having over an aftermarket substitute.
