So what is the general though about these rifle. The FR-8 is based off the mauser 3 ring design isn't it? I've read some old reports of the FR-8 being poorly built and generally not a good rifle. Some have said that its not built strongly enough for the .308 round and that they are dangerous.
I found one at a local gun store and I've always been intrigued by them. It was selling for $150. It looked a little rough, most of the bluing was comming off and the stock had a generous amount of wear (but no visible cracks). If the headspacing is good and the bore looks clean, is it worth buying?
Thanks.
