french mas 7.5 1949-56

[gunrott]

I was wondering if anyone had one, and what there thoughts are on it? I bought one in 99 and I have not even really took it out of the box. I pulled it out tonight and she is still looking good.

If it's still in 7.5, it's a fantastic piece built like a brick outhouse.


If it's been cut by Century for .308, you stand a fair chance of having cycling issues after it gets warmed up.

Wanna trade?

I've got one of the Century .308s. I'm hoping it'll run like my Century CETME. Just wish I could find some grenades for the Mas. Having the launcher attachment is just silly without the fun bits.

I have one in 308 and it works flawlessly. Handy size rifle.

It still is the 7.5 in Excellent condition, I still need to find what I did with all the little accessory. Any suggestion and where to find cheap ammo for it? and no I don't want to trade.sorry

Sorry to say PRVI is you best bet right now for ammo and it is running $1.00+ per round most places. Unless you can luck into some old surplus somewhere on the shelf in an out of the way gun shop you aren't going to find any cheap ammo.

Best price I have seen... Partizan PP75FR 7.5x54 French MAS FMJ 139gr. Made in Serbia, this ammunition is new production. It is lead core, brass cased, boxer primed, non corrosive, and reloadable. | Ammunition: Rifle everyone else is much higher.

AIM has it as well for a decent price... Prvi 7.5 French 139gn FMJ 20rd Box

$1.30+ per round, lol well I think I will dust it off and put it back and just keep and eye out for some along the way. I have seen that the 8mm and 7.65x54 has also almost tripled in price scene 99. Thanks

I wouldn't expect 7.5 French to get much better in price over time unless you reload...

I'm about to start in on fixing my Century-cut one.... when it is cycling properly, I love it. I kinda want to get an FN49 to park beside it someday but the ones I want are beaucoup dollars.

I have one in .308....I have to admit I had a bit of a feeding problem...my dremel took care of that.

whats the value of one of these in original 7.5cal and configuration?

 

[ruger7722]

i got a real nice one for 200..00 at the 1500 while trying to sell mine last week.i wouldnt give that much for a century.there should be something else to shoot from the launcher,it would be nice.

Weren't they giving up too $800 at that gun gouge back in Bloomington today.

I've seen the 7.5s going anywhere from $350-700 on gunbroker. There is a 49/56 7.5 "sniper" listed for $1000. I'd really like the scope and mount, I've seen the B-Square mount but haven't found any reviews. Also see one by McCann Industries. Both are around $90 + shipping.

Yeah Gunaria, they were saying up to $800. If they'd actually give $800 they can have mine and I'll pick up another one and get a little money out of the bank and get a Hakim as well. I think I paid $360 for my 49/56. It came with some extra stuff, saw another one at the same swap meet for $350(in worse shape with no extras). I'm glad I missed out on that one.

Its the same price at Midway. $17 for 20 is the standard price these days.
