Whatever you think i could never stand those a Madsen would be better or a Mat 49. but hey everybody likes something someplace. have fun with it. nice wall hanger and maybe a war story behind. used by the french underground in the Nam.

I looked hard at one of these a few years ago. I really like the design. But the lack of 7.65 long ammunition caused me to pass. Now fast forward to today. The 7.65 long is back in limited production at Steinel Ammo Co. The mags are available at Sarco.

STENs LOL

know an old timer who sold his near new Amnesty registered C&R Long Branch MkII for nearly 15K several years ago

nearly a flat new gun his grandfather bought in Manitoba. Never dewatted

minty original gun

 

MAT49's?

well just what is the buy right now for a C&R MAT?

30K+ on a beater when and if you can find one

 

MAS get no love from the younger pull trigger crowd however they are a prewar SMg, superbly controllable and rather accurate

most are rewatts

ammo is a legitimate point, Have boxes of .32 French, it's just not trustworthy surplus

that said, boxer brass is available, reload, used to carry a French 32A

 

they are a machined prewar gun, pretty much 1st generation

about no recoil or climb, perfect for our gals and even children

damn' accurate as well

5/6K is serious Gun boi pricing

 

it boggles me that anyone would load far less value on a MAS than a ChauChat

I took possession of a MAS38 in early 2020. Got a Youtube video of me shooting it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OXDT5g8-nU. Steinel manufactures reliable but expensive ammo. And no one else loads it!

 

Nearly zero recoil and very fun to shoot. Old school pre-WW2 machined receiver with off axis barrel. The French build guns like no one and no one builds guns like the French.
