I thought was interestingly made and mine was in excellent condition. I hated the short stock and awkward balance (for me), the forward belt bolt, and the ridiculously thick front sight post. It was low on my list of preferred mil surplus rifles, well behind my beloved Springfields, Enfields, Mausers and even the Nagants. Hmm, I had one back in college.

They are wonderful weapons. My deer rifle is a Mas36 in the 7.5 French. I took a buck and a doe with mine this season. There is nothing better than homemade biscuits with deer sausage. There are tricks one can learn in order to avoid discharge. The Armed Canadian blog was wonderful. I am a collector of French weapons, particularly the Mas36 and 49/56. They are wonderful weapons.

That, in particular, is one I put nearly on par with an Enfield. In MY hands, on MY shoulder. Never had much of a chance to shoot one, but having handled them I find them quite comfortable. Ammo is a little hard to come by, or I'd get one. Regardless of what anyone may think of the French, they did produce some fine weapons.
