CETME-L Handguards: The Poor Early Model and the Later Better One

This video from Forgotten Weapons dives into the handguard evolution of the CETME-L rifle. It highlights the differences between the early, fragile, full-length handguard and the later, improved, more durable version. The Spanish Army eventually updated all its rifles to the better pattern, though some Guardia Civil units retained the older style. For US collectors, the early pattern handguards are a rare find, with only 200 imported alongside tens of thousands of parts kits. The video emphasizes that while interesting for collectors, the early handguards are less practical for actual use compared to their successor.
