FR-8
I have a Spanish FR-8...a formally 8mm cut down to 7.62x51mm by the Spanish in 1952...so it says on the Mauser O-ring. It is a Mauser 98 re-rifled in 1952.
It is a short carbine length with bayonet lug and has capacity for firing a projectile...(wish I had some) grenade. It holds 5 rounds, in house, bolt action with great peep sights for out to 400 meters. The original rifle might be from the 20's or 30's...who knows...but now as a 308 caliber...its a great carbine that can keep up with the best...except, the design will not allow a scope.
If the Fed's ever grab my guns...I would hope this one could be kept under the 'curio' label. (Actually I would do the PVC trick if I knew they were coming.)
