Build Thread I know, dont fire 5.56 from a .223. Does the same apply for a .308 and 7.62x51??

I used to own a FR8 and shot both 7.62 Nato and .308.
Both worked fine in my rifle .
At the time of purchase I had a choice of a FR7 or FR8.
I picked the FR8 for the reasons stated by Bobclown above in post #20

I've never tried, the guy I purchased it from instilled a fear that I have headed.

I guess I'll have to try some .308 and see if I die.

That's it!
Get your face down in there.

And that's why you don't use commercial ammo in the FR7. On the plus side the bolt doesn't look it flew out of there.

That was a funny post?

The bolt doesn't look.........''It flew out of there''!
Is that like my dog pondering. Think I will lick my.............''Squirrel''!

Anyways.
Yes. I believe this is a wrong caliber for the gun issue. Not a 7.62 vs. .308 issue.

What? Not everyone thinks a bolt to the eye is a plus side.

If your not laughing with me.
Then I didn't tell it right.

Sorry Boboclown.

I got it. Was being sarcastic in my reply.
