Hey MG - didn't know you had one of these. When I got mine, Century was rechambering them so I got .308. Liked it so much I had to order a "matching" MAS 36, which is also rechambered in .308. Don't know if you are looking, but scope mounts are available again. HERE Scroll down to MAS, it's on the right.

Thanks Jon, still some work to do. It used to have the grenade launcher hardware, and after removal, the front sight looks a bit odd, so I plan on doing something with that. And I have to make a new control lever for the gas valve - the existing one is loose and I believe accounts for the odd flyer. After that blast it and Dura-Coat.

Thanks for the warm welcome! A lot of familiar avatars over here. (Hi Mad) My .308 beast started as a MAS 49-56 in some weird French caliber. It is a work in progress, but shoots very nice. Really loud with the howitzer muzzle-brake. Nice place ya got here Drew!! Thanks for the invite.

I was able to procure 1000 62gr pull downs, and I have found load data on the net for loading these with H335. Looking for someone that has actually loaded and fired some, for confirmation and advice. Thanks, Mike

Mike from Toledo, I drifted in from another one of Imschur's sites. I have a couple of old military rifles that were converted to chamber .308, hope to learn a lot from you guys.
