1st MAS 36 rifle

Which is the only one I have. Kept thinking there'ss a MAS 49 (w/o the launcher, oddly) but it must be a delusion.

Saw a MAS 49 this weekend with no launcher. No kidding.

The reason I knew that is I basically collect WWI and WWII items and while my MAS 35 was produced after the war in 1952, it's still the "same" rifle as the pre-wars. I have seen a lot of the 36/51's around but none without the launcher for the longest time. With the launcher is definitely not WWII.

I do have the MAS 49/56 in the .308 conversion. Mine works flawlessly. Im a huge fan of semi automatics. And the MAS 49/56 is no exception. The disassembly of the rife is so different from other rifles in that it has a massive block of steel for a bolt. And its just fun to shoot.

Who did the conversion and have you had any issues with it? I've heard that depending on the importer, the conversions were miserable with some.

I see multiple references to the 'MAS 36/51'..is this a designation for post war '36s?

Dunno about "rebuild" but here's one:




"Non-script" prefix if that means anything.
