The FR-8 rifles were converted from Spanish M1943 Mausers that have the standard M98 action strong enough to handle 7.62 ammo. This action has only two instead of three lugs on the bolt. You may be thinking of the Spanish FR-7 which was developed using the 1916 Mauser actions. Spanish FR-8 rifles are fine shooting NATO 7.62x51 Make your own informed decisions, but in a pre '98 design Mauser I prefer 7x57. Some of the importers proofed them, but they are weaker, and lack the saftey features in case of burst case. Dimentionally identical to 7.62 NATO, but loaded to lower pressures for their 1st gen CTME ( H&K pattern) rifles. The FR-8s were intended to use their own 7.62 CTME rounds. When there were lots of Spanish FR-8s being imported there was a lot of discussion on the subject. Watch out for the difference between a M98 converted to 7.62 vs. I only shoot surplus M80 ball ammo through it.Ĭolorado Gun Sales has them here for C&R holders: I put a set of Mojo aperture sights on it and it shoots much better than the original sights. 308 cartridges slide around in the 8x57 magazine, although I have seen a conversion at Part#400-132 that solve that problem. The only thing that I don't like about it is how the. My original posting is here: Surely the 1912 Chilean Mausers still require a C&R. I got mine on Gunbroker and the stock has got some serious history all over it, the action is in the white with clearly visible crest and markings, and it shoots very well. I had Frank Och inspect and headspace mine and he said it was OK.
#Mercedes om 460 diesel engine service manual serial number#
Verify your engine serial number to identify the correct parts for your engine. Depending on engine serial breaks, EPA04 engines could require different piston part numbers. 308 conversion was done using a surplus 03A1 barrel, and is perfectly safe to shoot. Although this engine is known in North America as MBE 4000, it is actually known worldwide as OM 460 LA the engine serial number will start with 460.

The other fact that so many people confuse the Spanish FR7, built on very old 7mm actions, with the FR8, built on the much later, stronger 8mm actions made the search for info on the safety of my FR8's digestion of commercial. An acquaintance who stood at a table behind him looked at me and slowly shook his head, then confirmed my concerns. I asked him about the issue and either he was unfamiliar, or pretended not to be aware. I learned about this when a seller at a gun show nearby in Southaven had such a converted Mauser. 308, some middle-aged gun show buddies who are very familiar with Mausers are really skeptical about the strength of the Spanish steel from 1916 or so. The test pressures for both are much higher.Īs for old Spanish (early 1900s) converted from 7mm to NATO. rifles were converted to shoot either 7.92×57mm Mauser or 7.62×51mm NATO.
NATO 7.62 cup pressure converts to about 58,000 psi, based on some charts that somebody linked elsewhere.Ĭommercial. The Mauser Model 1893 is a bolt-action rifle commonly referred to as the Spanish Mauser.
