[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

Sportsmansguide has the MAS 49 56 mag pouches @ about $17.00 for four double pouches. Mine were very nice.

Here is a photo of 1 of the original 150 7.62N 49/56 MSE sniper I get from SARCO in the Mid 80's. You can see in the second photo the markings on the receiver are quite different than the 308 conversions. The serial number is below the caliber marking rather than on the left side of the receiver vertically as in the 7.5 49/56. The serial numbers started at 100 and went to 250 with no alpha prefix.
I haven't tried it but the 7.62 magazines look exactly like the 7.5 magazines I have for my 7.5 49/56/MSE sniper and 5 other 7.5 49/56's I own.
Back in the late 90's the APX scope and mount came in and were selling with case for just over $200. I picked up 2 more for my other 45/56's I own.
