Like I said before I would stay away from Spanish M1916 Mausers 7.This past weekend I picked up a nice addition to my 7.62 NATO Mauser collection at the Hattiesburg, MS gun show. The FR-8 rifles were converted from Spanish M1943 Mausers that have the standard M98 action strong enough to handle 7.62 ammo. This action has only two instead of three lugs on the bolt. You may be thinking of the Spanish FR-7 which was developed using the 1916 Mauser actions. Spanish FR-8 rifles are fine shooting NATO 7.62x51 Make your own informed decisions, but in a pre '98 design Mauser I prefer 7x57. Some of the importers proofed them, but they are weaker, and lack the saftey features in case of burst case. Dimentionally identical to 7.62 NATO, but loaded to lower pressures for their 1st gen CTME ( H&K pattern) rifles. The FR-8s were intended to use their own 7.62 CTME rounds. When there were lots of Spanish FR-8s being imported there was a lot of discussion on the subject. Watch out for the difference between a M98 converted to 7.62 vs. I only shoot surplus M80 ball ammo through it.Ĭolorado Gun Sales has them here for C&R holders: I put a set of Mojo aperture sights on it and it shoots much better than the original sights. 308 cartridges slide around in the 8x57 magazine, although I have seen a conversion at Part#400-132 that solve that problem. The only thing that I don't like about it is how the. My original posting is here: Surely the 1912 Chilean Mausers still require a C&R. I got mine on Gunbroker and the stock has got some serious history all over it, the action is in the white with clearly visible crest and markings, and it shoots very well. I had Frank Och inspect and headspace mine and he said it was OK. 308 conversion was done using a surplus 03A1 barrel, and is perfectly safe to shoot. The long barrel conversions were indeed drilled and sleeved, but the short barrelled Chilean Mauser.
