Of CETME rifles:

"At a recent Urban Rifle Course, two students brought Spanish CETME rifles. You see them advertised extensively. They are similar to the H&K G3 (91). However, their owners had to lubricate them constantly. They used both gun oil and bearing grease. As long as the guns were greased up heavily, they worked fine. As soon as the grease cooked out, they began malfunctioning."

Comment: We have the same situation with the H&K MP5. Heavily lubricated, they work best. Trouble begins when they dry out. It goes with the species.
