I wanted one forever… so I pulled the trigger ( metaphorically) on a re-arsenaled MAS 49/56…7.5 French is a great (but pricey) round?

Nice! That looks really good for a rifle that hasn’t seen service for some 30-odd years. The Arsenal did a superb job on the overhaul, at least cosmetically.

It shoots great. I almost bought a .308 years ago… glad I got it in 7.5x54French. Like I said, aside from the expense? It’s such a great shooting round. EXPENSIVE? But good. PRivi works great!

No… I like the ridicule of French troops. I worked with the FFL in Somalia and the Persian Gulf… they are stand up fighters.

heheh. i know. it was a joke at the french’s expense sadly. the mas is a great C&R. i had almost looked into buying one years ago when i got into collecting to begin with… at the time they werent that available, and their ammo definately wasnt.
