There is a MAS 36 at the local fun shop. Not known on price. Been converted to .308 Winchester. I believe that they were Century Arms International conversions. I also think they went for $125-$135. This rifle is in the same condition as the one in the photo. As I have no clue on price I can't say yes or no yet. But I can ask is it even worth getting? I have an Israeli Mauser in 7.62x51mm NATO and that is a fun gun. I like collecting WWII guns and a MAS is missing from my collection. Are there any issue with the MAS 36s in .308? |
Probably will work better than the 49/56 conversion ! 
Century did the same basic deal, shorten barrel & rechamber and shorten handguard/stock forend. I'd pay $125-135, 7.5 wrapped ones are $200-250 these days. About the only issue i've heard of is they didn't re-install the forend catch when they shortened the stock so the forend can be sloppy but you can buy one and inlet it yourself. |

I also heard that sometimes the rechambering job was done with dull tooling so the chambers were rough and sometimes extraction was iffy. |
