THE DAILY FUDD: E252: "Spanish FR8 bolt-action 7.62mm: A stopgap before the CETME -- TDF conclusion at end."

-
Modified by caliber and sights for internal security use and troop familiarization in the 1950s. As stated in TDF 2's discussion of bolt-action and "scout" rifles, it is one of:

"two of this writer's favorite military rifle types by style--the Spanish FR7 and FR8. Both bolt-action arms from the 1950s issues to Spanish internal police forces, they give an impression of being semi-automatic. Note the birdcase flash suppressors and fake gas tubes--which in fact is a bayonet mount and cleaning kit container. Such an arm was a cheap but effective way to provide long gun firepower to police, while giving a false impression of that firepower to opposing elements."
