The rifles were made from existing stockpiles of Mauser bolt-action rifles. The FR7 and FR8 were introduced in the 1950s when the Spanish military was already implementing the CETME automatic rifle, but did not yet have sufficient inventory to equip and train all troops. Their recoil and muzzle blast are relatively heavy. Due to their light weight, short barrel and the calibre used, The FR 7 is a variant of the "Spanish M93 Mauser" bolt action while the FR 8 is based on the "Mauser System 98" bolt action. The "FR" stands for Fusil Reformado in Spanish ("Converted Rifle" in English). The FR 7 and FR 8 are bolt-action rifles adopted by Spain in the 1950s. Bolt system: Mauser, barrel: CETME or H&K, refitting: Fabrica De Armas La Coruñaħ.62×51mm NATO (FR7), 7.62×51mm NATO (FR8), k bulletģ diopters or notch (selectable) and front sight
