Very Fine Piece – New Condition – New Ø 7.50 mm Barrel – Apparently Unused Since P67 – Ideal for Shooting & Collecting.
Particularly complete regulation configuration, preserved in its original French calibre, with APX L806 scope, mount, accessories and corresponding military documentation.
Remarkable condition: rifle in new condition, with new barrel gauged at Ø 7.50 mm. The overall mechanical condition of the rifle, together with the condition of the barrel, is consistent with the rifle having remained unused since its P67-marked arsenal overhaul in 1967.
This exceptional state of preservation is one of the main attractions of this example: a MAS 49/56 in regulation configuration, apparently unused since its 1967 arsenal overhaul, still in its original 7.5 × 54 mm calibre and accompanied by its APX L806 scope, accessories and military documentation.
