What is an average price for a FR8 rifle?

[Nelson84]

I was looking at them on YouTube and google. In the USA they are going for $139 to $200 how much are they in Canada and who is selling them. They seem to be a cool little short rifle like the .303 Jungle Carbine.

What should I look for and what price range and if anybody has one can you tell me about it?

I have seen the FR8s between $300 and $600 depending on condition and numbers matching. They seem to be priced higher than FR7s.

^ yes 300 to 600, but the range I have seen them seen them sell 450 to 500...

$600 would have come with an original "FR8" bayonet, bayonet frog (not the CETME bayonet), mint, all matching, cleaning kit, and sling.

I don't really care a about numbers matching but it has to be in decent shape. No rust and I would like the wood stock to be in nice shape. I don't want one that was rubbed on a cheese grader and dragged behind a pickup. I would be just using it to shoot beer cans.

The simple answer is "More than they're worth." (At least to me.)

FR7 just sold on the EE. All matching with bayonet. Was listed at 550 + shipping. FR8 is listed there now for 500 and hasn't sold thru a couple of btt posts.

I was just wondering if you could get them cheaper from an online store but in my opinion the ones on the EE always seem to be in better shape. Our forum members must tune them up a little. Or our forum members don't buy crap in the first place. I have bought 2 rifles off of the EE and they were near perfect. It might be the way to go to get a nice rifle instead of taking a chance with an online store.

No one stocks them online. If you find them they will be the only one in stock. The EE or your dealers used/consignment rack are the only options.
