Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The FR 7 and FR 8 are rifles that Spain adopted in the 1950s. The "FR" stands for Fusil Reformado in Spanish (which means "Converted Rifle" in English). The FR 7 is a variant of the "Spanish M93 Mauser" bolt action, while the FR 8 is based on the "Mauser System 98" bolt action. Due to their lightweight, short barrel and the caliber used, these rifles have relatively heavy recoil and muzzle blast. The FR7 and FR8 were introduced in the 1950s because the Spanish military was already implementing the CETME automatic rifle, but did not yet have enough inventory to equip and train all troops. The rifles were made from existing stockpiles of Mauser bolt-action rifles.
The FR-7 was a modification of the Model 1916 short rifle, which in turn was based on the Mauser Model 1893. These three rifles are often called "small ring" Mausers, as the receiver ring is smaller in diameter than the latter Model 1898 by .110 inches (1.410 inches vs. 1.300 inches). The FR-8 was developed from the Model 1943 short rifle, which was based on the "large ring" Model 1898 Mauser action. Both rifles were modified to fire 7.62×51mm NATO. The FR 8 was used well into the 1970s by mounted Guardia Civil units in the Sierra Nevada.
