Also glommed a MAS 45

[Calfed]

I won two .22 military trainers today at an on-line auction, including this MAS 45





Description advised:
French MAS Model 45 Bolt Action Rifle, #F28380, .22 cal., 24'' barrel, parkerized finish, European walnut stock, with MAS Banner on receiver ring. Condition is excellent showing little to no use. MAS marked bright buttplate. Action is crisp, bore is bright. One factory magazine included. Lightly import marked.


Better pics when it arrives.

That is sweet...the world of trainers seems endless.

Thanks, fozzy

The funny thing about trainers are they are rarer than the battle rifles they were used to train for.

The Enfield and MAS trainers finally arrived and I snapped a few pics at my FFL's before I took them home





They are both in great shape...the MAS still has enough cosmoline in it to make the "unfired" plausible.

Hello Calfed, where do you find an online auction to even bid on a Mas45? Thanks.


I have wanted an MAS for a long time.

[ plausible.

I've never heard of or seen a Mas trainer in Australia.

I personally have three No2 Mk4s, two Cooeys M82 and a M75, one BSA No2 scout cadet.
A friend has a Mossberg M42??? like the ones CMP sells.
Have seen some Polish Radoms {mini Nagants} for sale.
The most popular is the Enfield No2 mk4s with a splinkling of No 7s, 8s and 9s but man do they fetch a premium.
