Description

Here's a fairly rare and desirable French Mas MLE 1949 Rifle chambered in 7.5x54mm. The MAS-49 has the distinction of being France's first semi-automatic rifle; built to replace the obsolete MAS 1936 bolt actions. Only 20,000 MAS 1949 Rifles were produced before it was replaced by the lighter and shorter MAS-49/56; of which more than 275,000 were produced before being officially replaced by the FAMAS in 1979.

This particular example is in very good condition with roughly 80% of its original parkerized finish remaining. The stocks are in good condition with original inspector's cartouches and no cracks or chips. The bore is good with sharp rifling. The barrel has a small import mark near the muzzle and matching serial numbers can be found on all principal components.

The action is solid and the detachable box magazine is in great shape.

And original French-issued sling and recoil pad are installed on the gun; both are rarely seen original accessories.

The MAS series of rifles has often been overlooked by milsurp collectors, but thanks to recent scholarship by historians like Forgotten Weapons' Ian McCollum they are enjoying new popularity by collectors and shooters alike. Pick up this rifle today, before they become even more desirable!

*This weapon was made after 1899 and MUST be shipped to Federal Firearms License holder for transfer. Never bought a gun through an FFL before? Give us a call at (262) 473-5444 and we'd be glad to walk you through this simple process
