    Sweet rifle! One of my favorites!

    Anyone ever seen a magazine for it that holds more than ten?

  4. ahab,

    That's a French MAS 49/56. Wonder where Oleg turned that up for a prop? ;)


    john galt,

    To the best of my knowledge, only 10-rd magazines are available. I'd like to find stripper clips...

  5. ahab,

    I believe that's a French MAS rifle. Either in 7.5mm French or possibly re-chambered in the very manly .308...

    (First thing I noticed was the rifle, actually...)

  7. It was only surrendered once by a little old lady from Lyon.

  8. This sort of thing (tam's comment) reminds me that I've long thought there should be sufficient demand to support, with modern computer-controlled machining, custom magazines for old weird guns.

    I know there've been 20 round fixed magazines (and possibly removables?) for Mauser 98s, since Numrich had them in their catalog.

    And all those people with MAS-49s or AG-42s (cough) might well want even a spare normal magazine, let alone an extended one...

    Sure, it might cost $50 or even $100, but that's better than $unavailable.

    (I'd buy a 20 rounder for my AG-42 if it was $50, and think real hard about it at $100.)
