Another poster (I think Henschman) started a nice thread on an FR-8 that he converted. Did a good job.
I too am interested in an FR-7 or 8, but am a bit skeptical because of the caliber. Can typical .308 be shot in such rifles, or are you stuck with the 7.62x51? I'm advised that the two cartridges do NOT have identical dimensions and that trying to shoot .308's through the FR-7 and 8 can likely result in damage or injury. I don't want to be stuck with a 7.62x51 rifle, as it appears simply impossible to get that ammo.
What's the reality here? Thanks!
