Lastly is my Spanish FR-8 with correct sling and bayonet. Rifle was made in 1956, but not sure on when it was converted to FR-8 configuration. Neat, handy little rifle and reasonably accurate too. Purchased it from a local gunshop. Funny story about the sling. After I bought this and my buddy saw it and handled it he fell in love with it. He told me if I ever saw another one to let him know so he could get it. Well not a few weeks after I bought mine, another one comes into the same shop. I noticed this new one had a sling on it and the one I bought didn't. So being friends with the shop owner, I gave him $20 for the sling and then called my buddy to come down and get his new FR-8. I figured since I was more of a collector, and my friend was more of a shooter, he wouldn't mind too much. He still ribs me about it sometimes though! Hey, atleast I told him about it right?
