Any MAS fans?

I have a MAS 45 too. Was given the barreled action plopped awkwardly into an M98 stock but I found the correct stock for it minus the butt plate and sling swivels.
It is not as accurate as I would have hoped and it is sometimes indecisive in whether it wants to make the cartridge go bang.
Nice solid adult-size .22 to hold and shoot though.

I bought some new PPU brass from Tradex. I'm using 180gr, .308 SPs from Speer on top of 42.5gr of IMR 4064.
What Cdn Tire?
Thanks! I got it doing a swap with a buddy 3 yrs ago,, never knew how much I would learn to love it. In great condition and like I said, very accurate. Jeese some nice MAS out there as seen in previous pics.
Robert Chombart (although not exactly an objective Frenchman) was involved in several rifle designs, modifications etc (including the RPA) for Bisley -- he certainly knew a thing or two about what made rifles accurate at long ranges; he was unequivocal that the MAS 36 was the basis for the best sniping/target rifle in service use. He particularly thought that the 45 degree lug engagement was a design feature that minimized dispersion with factory loaded ammunition. I found that pretty interesting! Course the French also gave us the Citroen and the Renault Dauphine ! two extremes in technology!
