Si Mas! Si Mas!

Alright. I have my flame retardent Underoos on. Here is my newest addition. A French MAS 49/56 in it's original caliber 7.5
Recoil is minimal, better than a CETME in that regard. Very handy in that it is easy to shoulder. All in all I like it alot. Would it replace my SAR's? NO! But still a neat rifle. How about some pics. Don't think this one was ever dropped. Heck, It may be unissued for all I can tell.

I wouldn't mind trying one some day. Uncommon ammo makes it difficult though. But I would like to just shoot and strip one to see how it works.

The cost of the ammo keeps me from getting one...trying to collect only rifles that fire 7.62x39 and 7.62x54r...nice rifle though. (Even if it is French!)

I wanted an MAS 36 back when you could get them in the mummy wrap for $59.00 from WGA but I snoozed so I losed

I wouldn't worry too much about it being French, they used to have some cajones but I guess they shriveled and fell off somewhere down the line! Enjoy your new toy!

I ordered some FNM ammo last week. Hopefully it'll get here this week. Ammo is expensive but I enjoy having a variety of rifles with a variety of actions and calibers. I've just aquired another No4 Mk1 that I'm itchin to shoot. Plus I need to stretch out the Dragunov a little! Will post a range report.
