I have been wanting one of these french things for years!
Why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! banghead1
Lol, hella nice carbine you have there! Me so jelly.... me soooo JELLY!!
I did a job for a fella, a few years back, who had 1 of these with a few rounds. It piqued my interest for sure. He wanted $400 I believe. Since then I've seen a few in shops but... Their always the 1's that have been rechambered for .308 ( not interested)
I see him every now and again and I think the deal still stands....I casually mention "that old french rifle in the funny caliber" :)) Whenever I see him, just to see if he still has it.
Nice, I like them thumb1

How did I know this was going to get highjacked by the french nazi in a straight jacket? rofl
Let me guess, yours is only 2.63m serial # off from the OPs gun and made just 15k miles down the road right? Right?
:o DANG NICE GMONKEY!

Bah!!! bat1 Ok, bat1, all Mas 49/56s were produced at Manufacture d'armes de Saint-Étienne. The OP's rifle was refurbed and possibly even rebarreled in 1982, the "G" series rifle is estimated to be built in 1958 to 1960. One of mine is an H suffix, which is a series later, the other is a "G" series, which is 40950 lower than the OP's rifle.
Being the OP got the bayonet, sling and 5 magazines, and even the correctly marked grenade launching boot for 425 OTD, this man got a slamming package deal thumb1 Considering a bayonet will run between 50-75+ bucks, a magazine runs 35ish depending on condition.
I chewed outta the straight jacket earlier, just wearing my helmet now, :P Mwhahahahaha, rofl2 thumb1
Sounds like a good deal Marshall-law, looks real good to boot!

Nice Marshall! Looks like a good package and I really like the grain on that stock. It's great that you got the grenade launcher and sight. Seen a few pop up with those parts removed.
GM and Saigon: nice array of French small arms you have there. A couple of scoped examples even :o The swept forward bolt handle on the MAS36 is a really unique feature.
I would love to have a original scope. Saigon1965, are the scopes pretty functionable? I would like to get some input on them before I fork out the cash.
Thank you -
The last of the bolt battle rifles -
The scope is quite functioning - It's a bit high for me -
