Is it C&R and who sells them? |

I found this one in a local gun shop earlier this year labeled as an Enfield with a price tag of $150. It also came with one of the Harris bipod copies that Walmart sells for $45. Here's what it looked like when I brought it home.  And now after I removed the sling stud and filled the hole, stripped all the old finish off, sanded lightly, one coat of walnut stain, and then a few coats of semi-gloss Minwax spray poly.   |
The original purpose, or what it is used for? Originally it's part of the gas system for a CETME rifle, but it's used for a cleaning kit on the FR8. An FR8 is a the mating of a Cetme barrel to a Mauser action and stock. |
It looks just like all the pictures posted only with a suppressor on the end.

I have been looking for one for two years. I have only seen one in Western Washington, it was at a fun show marked as a FP8, it had been sanded to death and then painted with some crappy clear coat gloss. The finish on the metal was pretty well worn off and the best part? The guy wanted $400 for it.

| I get fairly good results with them out to 100 yards ( never had a chance to run them farther out ) 4 inch groups with POF surplus. That would do whatever "job" they were put up to, but I just shoot for fun. The second one I bought had a cig and a few waterproof matches in the faux gas tube. |
