New Imports: French MAS 49/56 and MAS 36/51 Rifles (Ad-free)
Added 2024-10-30 12:00:05 +0000 UTCYeah, I'm a sucker for nice French rifles. So when Old Western Scrounger brought in another batch of them, I offered to do a video. These are rifles taken out of French long-term storage, having been rebuilt at French arsenals to like-new condition, and are in beautiful condition.

Jeez, I only realized when uploading this that I have not actually done a full video on the MAS 36/51. What an oversight! I will take care of that shortly...

Thank you. It took me a little bit to getting around to acting on it, but I finally placed my order with Murray's Guns.

2024-11-21 16:58:47 +0000 UTCThe guy at Murray's Guns actually just emailed me yesterday that they have improved their 49/56 firing pin spring and should have the new ones available shortly. So I would keep an eye on their web site: http://murraysguns.com/product/mas-4956-firing-pin-kit/

2024-11-10 10:06:15 +0000 UTCI have a 49/56 and have been trying unsuccessfully for years to get one of those replacement firing pins. If any of you know where to get them, please let me know.

2024-10-31 08:23:44 +0000 UTCI love my MAS-49/56. It was in rough shape from RTI but after a weekend of work it runs great. Everyone thinks its an SKS though.

2024-10-30 15:08:15 +0000 UTCI was one of those guys who bought the recently imported 49/56 sewer pipe rifles commercially "rebuilt". If I would have just waited a year....

2024-10-30 12:33:08 +0000 UTChow do you caught that. I prefer american rifles to put it mildly. though there are worser than the 49 out there, I assume.
