It's sad we're quibbling over centuries old semi-auto rifles when we could be having fully automatic M4A1s, M249 SAWs, MK12 GLs, M27s, MP7s, etc. if we stopped giving government more and more power every year.
I don’t know why importers and resellers don’t disclose where said rifle or pistol was imported from … any surplus gun really wouldnt it be cool to know what jungle your beater came from ? I think so !
My MAS 49/56 was in cherry condition and I love shooting it. My MAS 36 is a 90 % condition and it is fun to shoot. The handful of 49/56s that were converted to 308 that I have seen were having issues due to 308 is higher pressure than the French 7.5 ammo.
