[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Question about French MAS 49/56

Posted: 7/26/2003 12:52:19 PM EDT

I one today in a gun shop.

Very clean looking rifle.

Doesnt look like it was shot much. Go figure.

No, they didnt tell me it was only dropped twice.

Is $250.00 a good price for one of these?

Are they any good?

Enlighten me.

$250 is a great price. I was looking at buying one back in April and they wanted $600 for it.

Was it in the original 7.5 French caliber or one of the .308 converted ones? From what I've read the Century Arms converted ones have "issues" (no suprise conseidering Century's retarded gunmonkeys...). 7.5 French is availiable (not cheap or widely distributed.....)

It is the 7.5 cal. I dont think I would shoot it much. But for that price, I think it might be worth picking up.

How do they shoot?
Jam-o-matic, Or are they OK?
