Soviet M44's. Notice some of the War productions didn't have the washer installed in the sling slots. The rifle on left was a 1945 production. The one in the center is 1944, the one on the end is 1948.

The FR8 was a weapon that was used by the Spanish while developing and training troops on the CETME. There are alot of features similar to the CETME on the FR8. It kind of looks like an assault weapon. They are converted 1943 7mm Mausers.

Alot of hooey goes around on the net about the rifles not being strong enough for the .308 Round they are chambered in. That is a complete BS-wifes-tale-myth.

I got this rifle from Century last year. They are getting few and far between in this condition. I paid $149 for it.

Here's an interesting link on FR8's:
