FR8

The FR 7 and FR 8 are bolt-action, repeating rifles adopted by Spain in the 1950s. The "FR" stands for the Spanish words, Fusil Reformado or Converted Rifle in English. The FR 7 is a variant of the "Spanish M93 Mauser" bolt action while the FR 8 is based on the "Mauser System 98" bolt action. Due to their light weight, short barrel and the calibre used, their recoil and muzzle blast are relatively heavy.
