[QUOTE="warpusher, post: 1794794, member: 10742"] Hope I can provide some help. The rear sight is a rotating diopter. The "battle" sight is the v-notch, and the peep holes slowly rise for range, the lower the hole the lower the range. FR-8s are built on large ring mauser actions, and the FR-7 was a small ring. These rifles take CETME bayonets. The bayonet lug/tube has storage inside for cleaning goods. Other than the short barrel and flash hider, they are pure mauser actions. With that straight bolt handle you have to be careful when manipulating the bolt because of the position of the rear sight; you can definately crunch digits. An idea I've thought of is using one of those repro 20 round "trench gun" extensions. That would give you a 25 shot 308 bolt gun. The magazine will not be detatchable, but you sure would have firepower. Just about any trigger work that is available for a mauser will work for this. further tacticooling will require drill & tapping, mainly because the gun doesn't have standard mauser irons that can be replaced with a rail.
