The French one does not look so classic. The MAS 49/56 was made for 7.62x51 Nato (.308) in only 250 original rifles.

It was born of the same ideals, but is a fugly bugger.

Snake shot?

I spent $90 on 100 Sellier & Bellot .22 Hornet 45gr. on Tuesday. I didn’t know their inventory had thinned to shot rounds only. I have no idea what I’m getting or if it’s any good — though it is better than nothing!

That’s the best I could do.

Snake shot and .17 HMR is all they show on the web page now.

I am sure your order will be honored.

I’ve seen grown men weep when they learn what I paid for my Springfield. Bought it from a guy in the middle of a divorce. I gave him $500 dollars for it.

Grin....

The problem now is ammo.
Where to find .308 ammo under $2 a rd?

The MagPul 20rnd mags work great on my belt rig.
Easy to get to and don’t get in the way as much as 30rnd mags. I use the 30rnd mags in my chest rig.

Sorry, I was thinking about the BM 49 rifle and didn’t see the FN part.

You’re good to go!

I have never shot .22 Hornet centerfire.

unless you are looking for a rare gun part, these stupid gun shows are nothing more than a magnet for those who don't know any better. The first offense is making you PAY to go in and the once you are there, you will see table after table of gun dealers gouging everyone with inflated prices. That's not to mention, it is ALWAYS elbow to elbow at this place, I can't imagine having to wade through the sea of gang-bangers and urban idiots who will be there this time around.

Oh, and you know when you walk into Walmart and every time the ammo shelves are empty? Yea, the guy who is hoarding it all will be there too with tables piled with Walmart ammo for triple the price he paid for it.

My advice is avoid gun shows like the plague... unless of course you are looking for something obscure. You usually won't find what you are looking for, but you can make contacts to help you locate things.

haha.. I've gotten a couple deals like that but they sure are few and far between.

I bought a near brand new Colt Ar-15 HBAR... maybe had 20 rounds through it for 600 bucks, came with 400 rounds of ammo, 15 30rd mags and a softcase. To this day, every time I see that guy he wants to throw rocks at me.

Also bought a 70 series 1911 from a buddy a few years back for 300 bucks. I swear, I even offered to just loan him the money instead, but he insisted so I bought the gun. He occasionally reminds me of the bad dreams he has about giving it up so cheap... then I remind him he's the one sitting on my back porch and drinking my beer. hahaa

I know where you can get a Garand in .308, new barrels, new wood, good specimens. PM me for info... it’s not a huge secret, but I’d rather not post it for googlers
