Working on another one, a 1899 Oberndorf Swede M96. They certainly don't make 'em like they used to.
That's some pretty wood there flatwins.
I'm starting to get the milsurp bug pretty good now. Just take those pics of that really nice MAS 36 put my name on them now because point and shoot made me a cool trade on it.
It's really nice... I've never owned a French rifle. It looks like it's never been fired and wasn't even dropped once

Cool deal. I wasn't really familiar with the French rifles but did some research when by bro dlbleak was looking at a Berthier carbine. Yeah, this stuff is addictive!

I've heard French rifles were seldom fired, but often dropped. You're lucky.
OK, I shouldn't have said that. Sorry.
flatwins, don't you just love it when those oldies go "snick, snick".
Ya, I'm happy with it. The pics that Ron posted of it don't do it justice, the wood is really nice and it's an attractive looking weapon.
Kind of a shame that they don't get as much play as other milsurps but I don't think they're all that accurate and they just weren't used in the quatities of other weapons so not much interest in them.
I'll have to find me some 7.5 MAS ammo now and try it out. I'll make some pens from the fired cases... they're not too much different than a 7.5 Swiss case, just a little shorter.

Ammunition to go has 100 rounds of Prvi for $78. That wouldn't be too bad since you can reload 'em once you blast away the factory ammo.
The mas 36's probably saw some action in viet nam. And, lets not forget WWII.
They definitely saw action in Vietnam as the French supplied the South Vietnamese with them.
picked this toy up over the weekend. havn't had a chance to tear it down and look it over yet. so far can't see any import marks. the guy said he got it from a friend over 20 years ago and that the friends uncle had given it to him sometime before that. bore is beautiful and can't wait to shoot her., the serial has a BX prefix. i can't find any info relating to bx as a prefix,only BC. any ideas? thanks
