I have a Century arms clone, I understand CETME C furniture will fit with only minor adjustments. My questions are.

1. I should only need the hand guard, stock, and grip if desired correct? Can I reuse my stock mount and recoil assembly off the current plastic stock?

2. Outside of SARCO and Numrichs, are there any other decent places to be looking? Most results on google are crazy expensive for not knowing the exact condition of the parts.

You might try Apex Gun Parts.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I suppose next you want a minty L1A1 furniture kit? It's 2025.

Want something vaguely milsurp? Man up and just spend the ducats. By which I mean, don't get suckered paying for anything mint. Save the cautious shopping for something like a tiger stripe garand stock..

CETME wood? Just find something not beat to hell and made of wood. You should be able to reuse everything, off the top of my head.

Apex is a good suggestion. Numrich has served me well for many yeats. Like Wolff springs.

Years. But I'll leave it.

You assume a lot.

All I mean is if you want wood for old guns, you're gonna buy a few sets. The high dollar ones are to be avoided, unless you're putting vintage grips on an old Colt or something, the high prices are seldom worth it.

Check out Liberty Tree Collectors. I've bought a few parts from them in the past when restoring some surplus rifles, and it looks like they may have what you need (full disclosure, I know nothing about the CETME):

What we need is someone to take up the mantle of Ironwood Designs

The problem with CETME C, as opposed to the G3 is that the stock mount (or backplate) is peened to the wood stock at the factory and permanently mounted, to separate the two after the fact would mean significant damage or destruction to the wood.

That means you need to treat the full stock assembly as a single unit, so whatever you buy as a replacement must already come as such.

You could seek out one of the CETME C armor repair kits, they come with NOS stock, handguard, grips, and just about everything else short of a new receiver and barrel, they're not cheap but if you want a CETME and you want to put one together that looks like it came out of the factory yesterday, this is how to do it.

The question is, are you willing to put in this much effort into what at the end of the day is still a Century build rifle.

Says they have it in stock.

Be thankful you don’t want HK wood. There’s some fitting involved as it’s close not exact match. but guys have done it.
I got lucky and found a wood set for my PTR91 from a private seller at a gun show.
