MAS 1938 Restoration Parts Help Needed


Recommended Posts

Newbie question here...

 

I'm new to the restoration of old guns thanks to my aunt delivering to me all of my grandfather's guns. My favorite of the guns may well be the MAS 38. It's in relatively good condition with a serial number in the 29,000 range. The one piece that needs to be replaced is the charging handle. I've searched the internet to no avail. I'm wondering if the people here would know of good places to find obscure gun parts. Can someone recommend the best places to look for a charging handle for a MAS 38?

 

I'm very excited to find this forum and all the great information.

 

Cheers!

Very nice score! The MAS38 is beautifully ugly SMG. Parts show up occasionally on GB. The charging handle has a spring loaded stud that controls the operation. It might be a simple repair. Check the stud\handle assembly. Something could be stuck, worn or missing.
