Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Here are some photos of one of my MAS 36-51's, I found this poor rifle at a gun show in Reno. I wiped down the out side from the cosmoline but have yet to clean the inside. The only bummer is the mag plate number does not match (but the rest do) if anyone has a mag plate with no numbers let me know.

NOW A WARNING about some 7.5 ammo, I think its Egyptian or another Arab country but I bought this ammo from 2 different sellers over the last six months. I had tried to fire it in one of my MAS semis and one of my Mas bolts. I have had 1 of 4-5 fires the rest DUDS. There is strong primer hits so thats not the issue so beware.
