The Last Bolt Gun: The History of the MAS 1936 Bolt Action Rifle
No Customer Reviews
When it was adopted by the French military before World War Two, the MAS 1936 rifle was the last bolt-action repeater to be standardized by a major power for general infantry use. Now, nearly 80-years after the first weapons went into the hands of soldiers preparing for the next European war, the MAS 1936 rifle has become a forgotten footnote in the history of military weapons. Despite this collector interest exists, and the hardy little rifle has served faithfully around the globe, with descendants of it still in service today. Meet the rifle that served in the hands of the French Foreign Legion, the German Army, with the Viet Minh and later the Viet Cong, and now serves with Syrian and Kurdish fighters. Includes sections on history, care and maintenance, collecting, and identification.
