French MAS-36 .308 Winchester SOLD
Description: The MAS-36 is a short carbine-style rifle with a two-piece stock and slab-sided receiver. Initially chambered for the modern rimless 7.5×54mm French cartridge. The rifle was developed based on French experience in World War I and combines various features of other rifles like the two rear locking lugs of the British SMLE rifle, the dog leg shaped bolt handle of the U.S. M1917 rifle that places the bolt knob at a favorable ergonomic position in relation to the trigger and peep sight, the five-round box magazine, and claw extractor of the German Gewehr 98 which stored 5 rounds in a staggered column and fed by 5-round stripper clips. The MAS-36 also sports a Lebel-type cruciform bayonet inserted into a guard tube under the barrel. Many of these rifles were modified by Century Arms International to chamber the 7.62x51mm NATO round (.308 Winchester) and also had an SKS type trigger safety fitted to them. This example has a phosphate finish with excellent wood stocks. The front stock has a chip out of the right side near the rear barrel band and a filled in spot on the left (please see attached photos). It's bore is bright with strong rifling. This rifle has been converted to .308 Winchester by the importer. I comes with original French military issue leather sling. Used from World War Two through French service in Vietnam, this is a unique piece and one of the most under rated military rifles in history. SOLD Manufacturer: Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Étienne (MAS) Model: 1936 Caliber Info: .308 Win./7.62 Nato |
