    Huh, very rare and very cool rifle! Do they take the same mags as the 5.56 rifles? I'm not familiar with the dimensions of that caliber.

    EDIT - never mind, I see the case dimensions are closer to 7.62X51, as it's based on that round.

    At one time in France you couldn't own a firearm in any military calibres.

    From what I understand, their gun laws now are kind of similar to ours. Passed a couple of pretty well-stocked gun shops while I was in France last month.

    Drool!! Can't wait to see how much it'll go for!

    They were also available in .222 Remington on the European market in the 80's. I'd like to know how this specific rifle ended up in Canada.

    I'd date that rifle. I'd date that rifle hard.

    Do you take a kidney as payment? Will give you one of mine.
