The rifle was a bargain @ $585.00 shipped, with them normally going for $800.00/$1000.00. The scoped rifle was $1400.00, and is in the low end of the range , some fetch up to $2000.00 with all the toys.

Yes sir Duncan , there both MAS 49/56's but the are both still in 7.5 french.

With only a 1935s in my collection to represent the Fifth Republic I decided it was time to give it some company.

Very nice Robert, M39's are the zenith of Mosin evolution as far as standard issue military long arms go.

That's mighty fine shooting

Condolences to you and your family Duncan.

The holidays are always a tuff time to loss a loved one.

Mine are still somewhere in the Fed-Ex system

When it positively , absolutely has to be there overnight.............



Sure as hell not Fed-Ex!

I have 2 of these, ( one is pristine) but would love to see that rifle up close, if it is indeed a Hungarian M52 it could help to resolve a debate on another forum I am on. The stock isn't Hungarian, it lacks the "02" cartouche on the r/h side of the butt stock. I believe the barrel bands ...

Never signed up for Tapatalk, never saw the need, now even more than ever.

Just got my latest addition to my collection unpacked and inspected, and I am quite pleased with it. Its a Remington 03a4 sniper rifle dated 10-43 with the correct M73b1 scope. This rifle has its share of bumps and bruises but it doesn't appear to have not gone through any major arsenal refurbishmen...
