Pre-war MAS 36

[boltaction]

I took a chance at an i-collector auction recently and bid on a MAS 36. The photos online were low quality but the position of the serial number and the profile of the front sight and band made it seem like it would be an early one. Description didn't state matching and I didn't hear back from the auctioneer. The rifle arrived and it turns out to be a matching (except bayonet) Mai 1939 G series production piece with all early features. I never thought I would run into one that hadn't been refurbed or monkeyed with. Not sure where it spent its time but if it could talk I would think it would have a story or two to tell. Sorry for the poor quality of the overall photos--will try to get some tomorrow in natural light, but the detailed photos are ok
