Heading to the gun show. I want to avoid the FR7. Do the FR7 and FR8 look alike? If so, how do I tel them apart?

Thanks,

I just got a CETME and I didn't know that there was more than one model. But, there's a lot I don't know. Good luck.
 
CSAY,

CETME is the company that manufactured the arms. Centro de Estudios Tecnicos de Materiales Especiales - Special Materials Technical Studies Center. The rifle you bought was known as the Model C, IIRC. The bolt actions they had previously produced included the FR7 and FR8. The machinegun produced by CETME is the AMELI. It is based on the MG42, again IIRC.
 
I beleive that the FR-7 has a bent bolt handle and the FR-8 has a straight bolt handle. My FR-8 is also stamped FR-8 just prior to the serial number on the side of the receiver.
