Hey just a car, I tried what you said and I cant seem to get the bend quite staight enough. I think if I was able to take the spring off it, I could better see where the bend is. Is it possible to get the spring off the rod?...If not, do you know of a place to buy one thats not that expensive. thanks again.

Jim,
To remove the spring, you retract the spring and the collar. Use a C clamp to hold it back.There is a small roll pin retaining the end cap inside the tube. Drive that out carefully, and remove the end cap, then the collar and spring will come off.

Hey mooseman, can you go take a look at the this (Post your Spanish Lady pics! (Cetme Rifle)) thread and help this guy out?... I don't claim to be a smith, but I know stuff I've read on the net. I try to confer such knowledge, but I'm sure a smith would be better at it than I.

I really don't know what to tell him...Mine was just threaded on, not pinned or soldered...I wonder if it is single or double pinned ???
I would drill or machine out the pins to the threads and then try unscrewing it...He better Have heat paste if it is silver soldered to protect his barrel!!!

Mooseman it's a pin perendicular to the barrel that goes completely through the side of the muzzle break. that's what I'm hearing from the HK94er thread I started. Wont be sure till I get it off. I have yet to see a picture of this infamous pin or the process, hence my hesitation.Thanks for the input.
Where can I get heat paste? Never heard that one, everybodies got their own little method. I bought a dremmel tool to get this grind done...needless to say it's not a quick thing.
What model CETME did you get? Is it a Century, pre-ban, or a custom built one? Or none of the above?

Well, they would have had to drill into the barrel forming a dimple to insert the rod and weld it in place...It was done to BATFE Specs, and May or may not be Silver soldered...If you can get past the welded part of the pin, then drill it in the CENTER starting small and work your way up, the drill bit may catch the pin and spin it out if you are lucky...Make sure you dont drill any farther than the threads!!! The heat control paste comes from Brownells...directions on the can...
I have a pre ban Century...
