A MAC 50 in that condition would go for $2000 or more here. There aren't many in the States, and most are pretty ratty.
Fantastic lineup, mate.

thanks guys  AA52 and MAS49/56s are of the ethiopian origin - at least I have some reward for the work done  I hope to get them on the range over the Xmas and make some video... I am especially curious about AA52 performance.... MAC50 wasnt the cheapest for teh condition - 800usd approximately - and the barrel is quite worn :/ I ll see how it does on the range... however it was either this or nothing  on the other hand for the AA52 i paid 20usd so I had enough of safety gap |

Is the AA52 live? Semi-auto or full? For $200, I wouldn't care if it was deactivated. That's a hell of a deal.
I had no idea those weapons made their way down to Ethiopia, but I'm not surprised. Everything else seems to have been dumped there. What 7.5 ammo can you get in Czechia?
Cheers, mate!

Well the aa52 is live - semi only... and as I indicated - i paid 20usd - twenty- 😀 but it was of a gift than a purchase 😉 At the moment the aa52 is a pretty expensive even in france - I saw them within 3-6 Grant's range for the deact... I ll keep one fully operational aa52 at my friends who is licensed armorer and so he can have it in his locker... I guess that mas49 and aa52 came both from Tchad....surprisingly no MAT49s  - but I ll get me one somewhere else... Shame that covid slowed the things down otherwise we d manage to ship out few parts kits of aa52 to the US... Now the rti managed to squeeze out only some thompsons, BARs and other brownings.. Now everything stopped and maybe for few years nothing will make it out... especially if the civil war will continue... For 7.5 its PPU.... as for most of the odd ammo... |

I should probably learn to read... 20 clams for an AA52 in any condition is a miracle, gift notwithstanding. Having access to another: yer a bastard! How are those to shoot? Tchad makes more sense, as I know they were supplied with French weaponry. PPU 7.5, .308, and .30 Carbine has been excellent for me. We can thank our world leaders for fucking everything up. I hope their power grabs were worth it. Anyway, Happy Holidays to you and yours! |

Even then it's not cheep but for the most pat I use 7.62x51 components. The initial cost of boxer primed cases was the only obstacle. |

Even with today's ammo prices, it's more economical to buy loaded Prvi 7.5 and save the cases.
Some 139 gr. .308" bullets of the proper length would be fantastic, but I have plenty of Hornady 150 gr. FMJBT, and those shoot great for bulk bullets.
