Overview

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.
