Firearms Chambered in 7.5x54mm French

The MAS-36 is a French bolt-action rifle designed by Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Etienne and adopted in 1936. It was chambered in the new 7.5x54mm French cartridge, a rimless round that replaced the obsolete 8x50mmR Lebel. The MAS-36 was of conventional bolt-action design but featured a distinctive under-folding spike bayonet stored in a tube beneath the barrel.

The MAS-49 is a semi-automatic rifle designed and manufactured by the French MAS arsenal. It was adopted by the French Army in 1949 to replace the bolt-action MAS-36. The MAS-49 uses a direct-impingement gas system with a tilting bolt. It fires the 7.5x54mm French cartridge from a 10-round detachable magazine. The MAS-49 is known for its elegant lines and reliable function in adverse conditions.
