Go ahead Dave. Not all of us have lack sensitivity or nurture unreasonable aesthetic prejudices.

I OWN A MAS 36 THAT IS INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS HAVING BEEN FIRED BY LEBEL AND WOFTAM NOT AT THE SAME TIME IN THE UK AND POSTED ON THIS VERY BOARD.
A VERY ACURATE RIFLE AND I LOVE IT DEARLY IT SNUGGLES UP IN THE CABINET IN AMONGST THE ENFIELDS AND IS NOT AT ALL PREJUDICED.
ANYWAY ALTHOUGH THE MAS HAS QUIET A GOOD SIGHT SYSTEM I WAS ATTRACTED TO A SCOPE MOUNT ADDVERTISED ON A GUN DEALERS SIGHT IT ADDVERTISED IT AS A DIRECT REPLACEMENT FOR THE BACKSIGHT WITH NO GUNSMITHING REQUIRED AND YOU CAN SWOP IT BACK IN TEN MINUTES.
THIS IS RUBBISH AS THE MOUNT REQUIRED A FAIR BIT OF WORK TO GET IT TO FIT BUT NO DAMAGE TO THE GUN.
I FITTED THE SIGHT AND LOADED SOME AMMO AND SET OF FOR WATHGILL CAMP RANGE AND PROCEEDED TO ZERO THE SCOPE AT 100YDS UNFORTUNATELLY THE SCOPE RAN OUT OF WINDAGE ADJUSTMENT AND I COULDNT GET IT ON TARGET.THE FAULT WAS LATER FOUND TO BE THE SCOPE.
I CHANGED THE SCOPE AND SET OUT FOR CATTERICK GARRISON ON OUR NEXT SHOOT I MANAGED TO ZERO THE SCOPE AND SHOT THE FOOLOWING TWO TARGETS USING A 150G BULLET IN FRONT OF 42G OF VIT N140 NOT BAD FOR A FIRST ATTEMPT.
I LET JOSEYCLOSEY HAVE A BLAT WITH IT BUT I DONT THINK HE WAS IMPRESSED THAT ID FITTED A SCOPE TO IT. HE IS A BIT OF A PURIST WERE MILSURPS ARE CONCERNED.
ILL POST SOME PICS OF THE GUN AND MOUNT LATER.

A chap used to come to our range who has a MAS 36. He is a skilled metalworker and he had installed a Russian PU scope on it. It looked like it belonged to the rifle. I haven't seen him for a while as he is getting on a bit and is not in the best of health.
Regards
Peter.

Damn good shooting. My mate has a minty Mas 36, must coax him to bring it down to the range when we are next going. He is talking bout selling it, but what do I do, I need a No4, an SMLE and a K98.
It will be interesting to see that mount!!!!!!

Just a heads up guys, Stephen Downs has Prvi Partizan 7.5x54 Mas rounds on sale at £28 per 100 rounds while stocks last. Cheap as chips, must tell my mate so he can buy some for me to shoot
