Hello, I started to clean up my Spanish FR8 7.62x51 NATO and noticed a broken extractor and a bent firing pin ( not sure how this happened, I did shoot regular 308 commercial ammo in it and perhaps it was too much and I should have stuck with the lower pressure NATO rounds ) I did research and read ahead of time it should not have been an issue with the FR8, whereas it might have been on FR7 models. The damage might have already been there before my purchase as well since it was well used when I bought it and this is the first time I’ve had it apart. Couple quick questions..
I’m looking for a new extractor (will a Mauser M98 extractor work or do I need a 7.62x51 specific extractor), will the 8mm standard extractor work on the FR8?
Will a standard 8mm M98 Mauser firing replacement pin work for a quick swap?
Thanks in advance, I appreciate the help. Jason
