Offered is an outstanding French MAS 49-56 semi-automatic rifle chambered in 7.5x54mm French, presented in excellent overall condition. The rifle features an excellent bore with strong rifling and retains a very good condition stock displaying only minor handling marks consistent with careful use. This example is equipped with the desirable rifle grenade sight and bayonet, adding to its completeness and collector appeal. Serial number G20961 places this rifle in approximately 1960 production. The finish remains excellent, and the mechanical action functions smoothly with excellent operation throughout.
