CETME LC: Last of the Roller-Delayed Carbines
This guide details the internal mechanical differences between the CETME L and its carbine variant, the CETME LC, as explained by Ian McCollum. Key changes include relocating the recoil spring to the receiver and modifying the bolt carrier group to accommodate a shorter barrel and collapsing stock, while maintaining standardized external components for manufacturing efficiency. The expert analysis highlights the engineering trade-offs for the carbine conversion.
