Spanish FR-8

[Armadillofz1]

I'm thinking about taking mine to the gun show tomorrow to try to sell. What's it worth? I haven't seen another at a show in over a year, it's not like they grow on trees. Other than asking you fine folks, is there a way to assess its current market value?

Coincidentally, I was just considering putting my FR-8 in the classifieds. I did a bit of research, and it seems that it sells for between $450 and $500 depending on the rifle's condition and accessories included.

About a month or two ago one went on Gunboards for $325 shipped. The finish definitely had some wear but overall it wasn't too bad. I've seen them anywhere between $325 and $500. The $500 gun I saw had a giant crack in the stock and was at the Frederick gun show....obviously extremely inflated prices. Like you said, they aren't something you see pop up all the time but if you want it to move quickly I'd say somewhere around $375-$425 if in good shape. .

Thanks, I think I'll take it for a walk in timmonium tomorrow. Every time I see it in the safe I see a new Glock.

If it doesn't sell I'll offer it to the fine proletariate here.

I kick myself in the rear-end every time I see my shootin' buddy's FR-8.

He bought one at "Zayre" for $94.00!

Shoulda bought one.

I'd like to get one, but, I'm not payin' $500 for it.
I'd give $375 cash, for one in good shape, though.

About $300 for average, $400 pristine. Paid $300 for mine which is probably between the two about a year ago with bayonet, its one of those neat looking guns that has a good following due to its "relative" scarcity and eye appeal.

They are good guns and really an ultimate scout gun in many ways. Id buy another at the right price, but not $500.

Just be careful if you shoot full house .308 through them, they can take it for a while..........but not forever. Stay safe and use 7.62*51 surplus or WWB 7.62*51.
