Heard something bad about CETME's

Heard that even the ones that feed and function fine will foul up after about 100 rds and start having issues.

Anyone experience this? I fire tested the one I had at about 50 res, all was fine so I put it away.

    I have one HK91 pre ban and a PTR91 GI I'm very happy with both.
    I've never shot a Cetme but had one in my hands at gun show about
    3 months ago, in comparison with the HK and PTR the Cetme looks like
    was put toghether by a drunk monkey with a wire welder, the finish
    and appearance is not good to say the least. As far as reliability it'* and miss, they do take a few rounds to brake in, keep your eye on the bolt gap. as far as fowling up I don't think so the roller lock is design to run with dirty ammo.
    We have to fight so we can run away.

    I have a c93, not exactly cetme, but mine fires without problems. I've easily put about 500+ rounds through it, just keep it clean and it fires. Only time I had issues was when I loaded wolf ammo.

    I should add, CETME's by Century.
