I am looking at a MAS at a local sporting store, I have been for the past few months. The serial is 86492 with 2 funny symbols in front of the serial that looks like a script type ff. Caliber marked on the side is .308 and the model is 1936. There is also another one in caliber 7.5 Frenchicon with bayonet, both are the same price. I am leaning toward the 308 caliber. I did notice that on both guns the trigger guard did not match the serial. I cannot see where the serial is on the bolt. Can someone advise me if the 308 is a late conversion to meet NATO requirements and is it worth adding to the collection. Both are in good condition, the 308 is a light color, the 7.5 is a reddish finish.
