No, this milder Spanish ammo was designed for the weaker 7mm Mausers converted to NATO 7.62, only some of which were cut down to be the FR7.Ī fairly murky area is old military cup, copper units of pressure. People assume that the Spanish 7.62 NATO ammo was designed for the FR8. Many 7mm Mausers were converted to 7.62 NATO. The weak FR7 has the smaller action of the very old 7mm Mauser. The FR8 has the action of the 8mm Mauser. Thus, this rifle can be adjusted coarsely for elevation using the rear sight and then “fine tuned” for elevation and windage using the more adjustable front sight.Many people on various websites repeat anything they hear and confuse the strong, large-ring FR8 with the weaker, small-ring FR7. A special tool is needed ( Sight 5) to move the sight which can be gotten from TAPCO.COM. The post is off set to one side of the thread of the screw. The interesting thing about the front sight is that it is eccentric in nature, that is, as you screw it up or down it also moves left or right. The front sight is a pointed post, much like the original AR-15 sights. If you turn the sight back to the “V” notch and then turn it clockwise, you get to the 400m apertures ( Sight 3). Starting with the sight at the “V” notch ( 100m) position ( Sight 1), turning the sight counterclockwise one notch goes to the 200m aperture ( Sight 2), turn it again counterclockwise and you go to the 300m aperture. Interestingly, the choice of which distance aperture to use does not change the diameter of the hole, rather it moves the hole either up or down according to distance.
The rear sight has a dial selector that allows for the choice of apertures for 200, 300 and 400 meters as well as an open “V” notch for 100m. This position does not allow you to open the bolt or pull the trigger. Safety 3 shows the Mauser in the far right - "Safety On" position. This position allows for the opening of the bolt - but does not allow for the trigger to be pulled. Safety 2 shows the Mauser in the middle position. Safety 1 shows the Mauser safety in the off position. Release magazine door as shown in Unloading 3.Īllow all rounds in magazine to fall away from magazine.
