I have built a scout rifle on an 1916 spanish Mauser.308WIN,barrel reduced to 17 inches,fitted w/custom stock,XSsights mount & an Burris scout scope.Headspace has been checked & verified.This rifle shoots very well(bucks a bit though),is very lite and handy.I was "informed" that these models were UNSAFE in .308WIN.,however cases show no unusual marks or stretching and as stated headspace is sound.Any others in-put on this subject welcomed,thanks,R.B.

SUPPORT THE I.N.S. , THE COUNTRY THEY SAVE COULD BE YOUR OWN
The CTME was adopted as a interium round, as it allowed the arsonels to get tooled up for the new NATO round (everything's the same except for the bullet weight and powder charge) while the armories converted existing rifle inventories as the new rifle was not yet available to be issued to the troops.
Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.
