I was starting to wonder also I loved that old steel cased stuff shame it dried up in the states here

It certainly has a lot going for it, rugged and reliable, good caliber with lots of ammo selection, lots of options for reloading with cast and jacketed loads from plinking to full power loads. Only thing I don't care for are the "V" notch rear sight and inverted "V" front sight, they are usable but I would prefer a square notch on the rear sight and a straight post for the front.

The Israeli K98k is one of my most used surplus rifles, I like it a lot. The "CJ96" ammo worked better than I expected it would.

Thanks for stopping by and watching!

We found the quality varied from lot to lot. There was some that was over pressure, but most of it was pretty good stuff.

Thanks, I guess it's acceptable for a middle aged guy with not the best eyes, and eighty year old rifle and surplus Chinese ammo.

I usually end up regretting any guns I sell or trade.

That is an interesting idea and I do have access to all three of those rifles.

The FR-8 is one rifle that I wish I had bought when they were more affordable and available. I had a buddy with one and it was quite a good shooter.

I really should post more often. Thanks for dropping by and commenting.

Thanks.

Was that in a civilian hunting stye or in a military type configuration?

My experience with the CJ 96 ammo has been good, however I tried some with the Head stamp "CJ 95" and it gave excessive pressure.

Thanks buddy!

It's getting hard to find these days.

Not long, The ammo stays in the bag until I shoot it. If memory serves me correctly this was done in the spring and it was still quite cool.

When they do come up for sale they command quite the prices now. I've seen them listed for $900 and more.

That stuff is starting to dry up, it used to be pretty common at gun shows but not anymore.

Probably a good idea that they dropped that project.
