Hi the FIW forum friends! Just a question for you, the forum experts: Have you seen photos of the MAS 36 CR "1st type" in use the indochine war? I refer to the last stages of the war....  This is a good link for the 2 models of this rifle. The photos are of 2nd type (post WW2), the model i think most correct for DBP....¿? Thanks in advance, amigos! |

Mmmm... Tough to say off the top of my head. I'll have to study some photos to see what they reveal.

Since about 90% of Mle. 36 production was of the later, post-War (1946, I do believe) type with the hooded front sight, I would tend to think CR39 production followed suit.

Thanks Craigtx and Lew!!! IMHO mostly are 2nd type, as photos shown    Just curious if anybody remember any photo of a 1st type in use in indochine, because some reenactors use them. Thanks again! |

Thanks Luigi!
And yes, that last photo does look like a Type 1.

Gracias. Maybe we can all be free one day.
They both could be Type 1 front sight ears, but the one to the left looks more like a Type 2.
