    Picked up a Spanish FR8 Mauser.

    Recently bought a Spanish Mauser FR8 in 7.62. Havent done an official range report, but its been a good shooter when I went plinking with it for a bit.

    Just got a .German 308 200rd battle pack from AIM, with 2 day shipping (since AIM's in OH and im in KY) Hoping to find a bayonet for it at the show next weekend.



    Crappy pic I know

    Sweet rifle, are you going to the knob creek MGS? I have a couple of mint CETME/FR8 bayos I've put up over the years.

    I know,me n my Cousin were baffled by it too. Apparently, it is a bubba job but it seriously, looks factory. Really makes the action smooth on it.

    Mriddick, Its still up in the air if me n the wife will be able to go to the one in April this year. I know for fact were going in Oct but thats far away lol.

    A mint bayo sounds tasty tho

    How true. I even seem to recall that at one time, the gun dealers would actually pay us to take their stuff.

    Well, I only paid $200 for it so I dont think it was that bad of a deal

    Sadly, I opened the cleaning kit to find only a set of earplugs inside Anyone know where I can get one?

    Heres some more pics of the whole gun and the bolt. Better quality this time.











    I just love how aggressive the barrel and brake looks.

    Decent buy. I've wished I had run across a FR7 & FR8 when they first came in...

    If you can't find a cleaning kit or the contents, PM me. You might have to be patent thought, I'm headed to Houston ftomorrow for two weeks and then Prudhoe Bay for 4 weeks...
