No scope included?

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Cool, but at $7k I’ll pass.

Though those probably have a Legion connection.

@buffalowinter what say you?

Yes, well used, all in a state of dis-repair. Maybe at 4K, but not 7, especially without the optic and mount. I'd do 7K with the optic and mount, but without it, the gun is unusable (no irons on the Hecate). A fabricated scope and mount would make the gun shootable but would be a definite detraction to buyers. I do have an original black cheek-piece that goes on the stock if anyone is interested. I'll stick with my MSE.

I agree, too much money for a worn rifle that lacks the correct original military optic - which is likely not available here in the USA - at any price. If it was complete rifle with the original optic system it would be a neat collectible for sure.

Here's what I learned on this link: https://www.gunboards.com/threads/frf2-scope-questions.534233/
Only the last scopes on this list are really available in the USA:

The FR-F2 in 7,62x51 was adopted in 1986, its scope was an APX L806-3 modified for the flatter trajectory of the 7,62x51 round and labelled APX L 806-4. The F1 scope mount dedicated to the APX scope was replaced on the FR-F2 by a similar base with a STANAG interface.

The Scrome J8 scope 8x40 was adopted in 1995, in replacement of the APXL806-4, it uses the same F2 base mount and STANAG interface.

The FR-G2 of the French Air Force were fitted with a 6x42 Schmidt & Bender scope on a STANAG interface and a G2 dedicated base.

The Navy Commandos uses a 1,5-6x42 Schmidt & Bender on their FR-F2

The Gendarmerie used Leupold M-1, M-2, M-3 10x42, Schmidt & Bender 3-12x50 with their FR-F2.

FWIW - Some info from a few months back regarding a batch at Euro pricing.

They have to given how many times they get dropped, you don't the weapon to be inoperable after being dropped and picked up by your foes that just would not be the French way.

Maybe I should re evaluate my statement about ugly, maybe French guns look good when fondled by a metrosexual wearing a beret in a coffee shop sipping a caffeinated beverage from a tiny little cup

 

[sirhrmechanic]

They also love silencers in France….

Keeps the Mime population under control.

Never shoot a mime without a silencer.

The armed forces of France should not be judged by their politicians.
The Free French under Charles de Gaulle
proved their courage.
The Maquis along with brave SOE operatives, maintained a valiant resistance against the Vichy and occupying German forces.
France conducts highly effective covert ops against terrorist factions on a regular basis.
There is more to this world, than the US perspective.

It seems the French were very helpful during the war for independence and the war of 1812.

FS: French Army service rifle, low usage.

Fired once, dropped once, cleaned religiously.

Overpriced and underutilized.

Contains the spirit of La Revolution.

 

[nevrmiss1]

Would love for my collection, but not at that price.

True but that's only because they hated the British. The American cause of representative government instead of a monarchy had to stink in the nostrils of Louis XVI but as long as he could make life miserable for the British then he'd support the war for independence.

It was also because there was one man that proved to be pivotal and influential with the Louis XVI. Without the Marquis de Lafayette, it would have been a lot more difficult for the Americans to win independence. Look back at the history. Lafayette was given a hero's welcome everywhere he travel in America after the revolution. He wasn't made an honorary citizen for nothing.

On the other hand, remember that during WWII, the French and Japanese were not belligerents. It probably would not have been much help but their assistance in the South Pacific might have lessened US and British casualties. There are a lot of American graves in France from both world wars. So... uh... yeah... thank the frogs for helping us against the Japanese

I do like their onion soup and pastries.

Political machinations aside, they are good fighters and they have developed some very unique and innovative weapons.

One of my favorite Letterman Top 10 Lists:

Top 10 ways France is preparing for German reunification​

10. Dialing 911.

9. Installing speed bumps to slow Panzers down.

8. Cutting bedsheets into convenient easy-to-wave rectangles.

7. Watching twice as many Jerry Lewis movies just to keep their spirits up.

6. Stockpiling Blistex so they can kiss plenty of German butt.

5. Printing up T-shirts that say "Don't shoot! I'm a collaborator!"

4. Going a really really long time without bathing.

3. Suddenly acting all chummy with Chuck Norris.

2. Practicing running backwards and blowing kisses.

And the No.1 way France is preparing for German reunification . . .

1. Developing top secret Stealth cheese.

The French weren't free to do much in the South Pacific against the Japanese with the Vichy and Free French fighting for control of the French colonies.
