The French Are Comming!!!!!!!!
A little while back.....Mike (afjuvat) and I were chit chatting about Milsurp rifles. I told him that I was interested in a French MLE MAS 36 in 7.5 x 54. Fast forward a few days and he sends me a link to one for sale. Well, I bought it and today I finally got it out to the range. Here are some pics of the rifle and initial groupings/shots. It's a nice robust rifle from back in the WWll era. Thanks again Mike for the heads up!
It is shooting right off POA and elevation is right were like it for open sites......6 O'clock hold. These are the best groups of the day.. Darn flyers!!!! Oh....range was 50yds. So, it's not bad for military accuracy. It's definitely Minute of Man. I'm sure with some hand loads I can close that gap up nicely.
