Anyone else have a MAS 49/56 etc?

[96 SS]

Just picked up one and frankly (pun intended) I love it!

I did. About a decade back. Original 7.5 not the hacked Century 308. Definitely a cool rifle should never had traded it.

no but it's something I've been looking into. would love one in 308 provided it's done right as the Frenchie ammo is hard and expensive to come by

Typically there's plenty of 7.5 French made by PPU. I used to buy them from SGammo all the time priced about 75 cents per.

Looking now SGammo has 7.5 for $1 per. But if you already have 308 that's a different story

It’s a great rifle. I really like the sights. You will enjoy it.

All those oddball calibers like 7.5 French, 8 Label, 303, 6.5....etc... made by PPU were around 75 cents per round

If I was gonna oddball a 7.5 round I'd have definitely jumped on one of those Schmidt Rubin K31s when they were being imported for next to nothing. Insanely accurate bolt rifle.

Early 2000s was definitely the golden age for C&Rs, especially when thing like Enfield No. 4 Mk1s, Arisakas and the like were available for amazingly low prices like K98s and 91/30 Nagants. When Samco Global was still in operation their catalog was amazing. It was everything Century Arms had and more, except it was all in exceptional condition.

I sorta regret the ones I didn't buy but I was always leery of buying something where the ammo supply could completely dry up.

We bought one years ago. I snagged about 5 mags for cheap back then too. Super cool in the original 7.5 caliber.

I had one for years in the original 7.5 French. I had about 3K rounds of ammo, multiple mags and spare parts. It was extremely accurate and rugged. I regret selling back when I trimmed my collection down. I also bought a MAB P-15 pistol then, I still have that.
