I built a copy of the French MAS49-56 MSE, a rifle made for Interntional competition based on the MAS 49-56. Only 900 were made. I found an original scope and mount, an original cheek-piece, butt spacers and made a passable copy of the buttplate. I did not get the butt-stock right and was never happy with it. Well, I went to post it for sale and forgot the correct nomenclature for the scope so went to e-bay to look for the scope as they always have a couple for sale. Typed in MAS 49/56 and what pops up but a copy of the correct buttstock. Not sure if this is a new made copy or one of a rare run of 150 that was made 50 years ago. Coming from a surplus store in France. Guess I have to sell something else.
