My new FR-8

I bought this from a member of another forum I attend. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but the chamber and bore look new, it should shoot well. Here is a couple of pictures.

Looks nice. I took out my (looks to have never been shot) FR-8 today for the first time and I had some feeding troubles. The second round wants to not feed very well.

I found that the second round seems to get pushed forward when I chamber the first round. A good smack of the butt against the shooting table put the rounds back in alignment in the magazine and then the #2 round would feed fine.

Me thinks it needs a little more breaking in.


BTW if you want stripper clips, go with the Yugo 8mm clips. These are generally from Yugo 8mm ammo that came pre-loaded onto stripper clips. They fit perfectly.

Wow, that looks very nice. The metal finish looks especially good. I wish I had had the money to buy one when they were more common.

Very nice rifle there,

Also as to the feeding troubles, just be a MAN with it, and you usually won't have any trouble. Every time I try to baby the bolt, it wants to missfeed, but if I am quick on the bolt and firm with it, then it feeds just fine.

Looks nice, actually they both look VERY NICE!
