Very nice rifle there Gil, actually quite accurate.
Alot of the french firearms were quite good, though little known, comparatively speaking.
One word of warning, it has no manual saftey, the rifle was originally intended to be carried unloaded, and only loaded immediately prior to firing.
the MAS-49, and 49/56 are quite underrated too.
I had a chance to get a set of all three about 2 years ago, but i just couldnt get the money togeather on short notice.
I do know the guy who did get the set though, and they did find a good home
