Unmolested French Army MAS 49/56 near Southeast, Pittsburgh, PA

Unmolested French Army MAS 49/56 7.5x54mm 20" BBL Battle Rifle w/ Grenade Sights.  Not refinished, not converted to .308.

Very nice example in the original 7.5x54MM French caliber.  The original finish on these all tend to have a grey patina if not refinished.

The model 49 was France’s big swing at a standard issue auto-loader and I must say that they did a bang up job. The gun operates via direct impingement, making it DI before DI was cool.  Other features of the 49/56 that make it unique are the gas cutoff, grenade sight, and grenade distance adjustment.
