Well it was originally a French military MAS ?36? I think. 7.5 French cartridge, although some have been converted to .308. Browningguy Houston, TX We Band of 45-70ers | |||

Is that your rifle? I was recently given a 1949 Santa Fe Mas (my first free rifle!) Yes, Its a sporterized French Mas 36, altered by Golden State Arms. I shot it three times before a primer was pierced by too much firing protrusion. I'm gonna get around to trying a new pin from Numrich. What rear sight is on that rifle? Mine has a plastic rear sight held on by only one screw. I'd like to replace it with a peep. It seems it would go well with the 16 inch barrel. Does that rifle have a safety. Mine has an ugly sheet metal safety that does not work. The trigger is not awful, though, after some polishing. Jason | |||

The Sante Fe Division of Golden State Arms imported and sporterized a lot of mil-surp guns. They range form sorta crude to nicely done depending upon the grade you bought. I have a 1941 Supreme Mk III 303 similar to your MAS. They're not especially valuable but a lot of them were nicely done for what they are. "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||
