NB - EXCELLENT- near new condition 95% - 98%, used but little, no noticeable marring of wood or metal, bluing near perfect (some wear at muzzle or sharp edges can be expected).

A mint example of a early French MAS 49/56 semi-automatic rifle. The side of the receiver is marked "MAS Mle, 1949-56" over CAL. 7.5 along with a French boxed "P76" proof mark. These rifles were that last version of the French 49 series of semi-automatic rifles. They used a ten shot box magazine with an integral flash hider on the end of the barrel that also served as a grenade launcher. The top of the barrel directly behind the front sight has an integral flip-up grenade launcher sight that is calibrated to 100 meters. The rifle is complete with a APX 806 scope with neoprene bellows, a very rare and unique Night firing attachment. This device slips over the end of the barrel on to the grenade launcher and has a set of built in night firing sights that consist of a post front with a cutout rear notch; both have the white dot/luminous night aiming sights on them. Included is a leather sling, a green plastic scope case and one magazine.

Excellent condition with approximately 99% of the original finish. The stock is unmarked and the scope case is very good with light handling marks. The sling is near new.
