Nothing special if youre not a collector.
The main question is, is it possible to export them from France.

Interesting they would be unused MAC's, since it was the first run of these pistols...
A whole crate looks really good; I wonder what the CFC would say....

Any MAS36/51 available in 308?
"Optimists these days learn English, pessimists learn Chinese, but realists learn how to operate an AK-47."
The dewat FAMAS - F1 looks interesting as well, though the working model is explicitly prohib... not sure about the dewat version.
It is interesting to study the French website and be reminded of their category system. As I remember, 1st is military calibers; requires a permit. 4th is arms for defence (mainly non-military caliber handguns); also requires a permit. 5th is hunting weapons, but that means non-military caliber and ten shot mags for semi-auto; no permit, declare to police; 7th .22 rim fires; no permit; 8th black powder; no permit.
Military rifles are routinely converted to .222 Rem, 7mm-08, .243 or other calibers to avoid 1er categorie. Back in 1990's you could buy a Famas (.222, ten round mag) by mail, with a copy of your French national identity card. Full auto was available under 1er categorie. Single shot .22 pistols of over 11" in length were also 7ieme; think Contender or Reck, Gaucher. You could even buy a silenced, bolt action Gaucher without permit. I believe that these .22 pistols are now 4 ieme and you need to present a hunting licence or club membership to buy 5 ieme.
Ah crap, wish I hadn't seen this thread! These things are ugly but not hideous. Definite retro look. I must have one! If someone can bring these in and sell them for a 'surplus' cost I'd be in. Obviously not TT 33 cheap! but the cheaper the better!!!
Canada ended when Trudeau began.
This is most interesting. It would be awesome if you could get these in country.
