Some photos for the few of us with Mas 36's just so we know that they might actually have been used at one time!

I got them from a French site that babel translator would not work on. I just played around on the site until I found photos. Here is the link! I just looked in the archive section. http://www.ecpad.fr/ The site also had some nice vintage war clips but again all things are in French. |

Awesome photos... There just don't seem to be many pictures from France in WW2. The documentary The World at War has a little bit, but I'd really like to get a bit more. Most of the photos I've seen are from after the fact when the Germans had steamrolled them. |

I can't believe your still looking for one!! The nice matching ones are getting harder to find. There still some refurbished ones that look nice that are on the auctions! Here is another link for your temptation

I think he may be looking for the single bullet they were allowed 
Here is my favorite French rifle web site for photos of the rifles!! http://www.littlegun.be/arme%20francais ... 6%20gb.htm Warning lots of heavy photos!! |

I just don't trust them auction sites.  And I've never even seen one at a Gun Show in these parts.
I'll find the right person with one too many...
