FR8 Question

[NWHick]

Hi,

My first real post here. I was in gun nut rehab for a while and I have recently "fell off the wagon" so to speak with a couple recent purchases.

I picked up a Spanish FR8 yesterday in great condition for less than $200.00. I did not know what it was at the time except that it looked cool and fit the bill for what I was looking for. (I was actually going out for an M44 Mosin Nagant but could not pass up this cool little carbine.)

I did some searching here and on other sites and I found some contradictory info. What stripper clips will work with this thing and where can I find them?Where can I find the front sight adjustment tool and correct sling?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Hick

What stripper clips will work with this thing and where can I find them? Where can I find the front sight adjustment tool and correct sling?

Mauser 98 stripper clips are what it takes, I used 8mm mauser clips and they work well.

The front sight tool and sling and bayonet are the same as the CETME.

Thanks. I'll see if I can dig some up with a search. Any recommended websites to get them from?
