A friend gifted me a La Coruna 1950 FR-8 today. The overall condition of the rifle is good to very good. The only issue is the follower and follower spring. I've read the FR-8 is based on the Mauser 98. I've looked on Numrich at the Mauser 98 parts and they have the spring and follower. However the follower is for 8mm. Does anyone know if this follower will feed the 7.62X51 rounds? If not, what Mauser model follower will work?

Also, any ideas as to what i can use to adjust the front sight down?
