I own one of the semi FAMAS rifles and Ive shot the real deal ones in my liaison duties in the past. It is a delayed blowback for sure with a fluted chamber similar to the HK. It uses a delay lever instead of locking rollers though. The French are very satisfied with the FAMAS and have used it...
They imported about 100 of he semi FAMAS rifles prior to the ban. I believe it is second to the SA80 semi (only 3 of them) as far as being a rare semi import.
I owned a number of original 1886 Winchesters back when I collected them in Montana. I had two in .45-90 and they were very accurate weapons. The .45 bores in the 1886 were fairly uniform whereas the .40s (40-82, 40-65) had a tendancy to be oversized. They are very strong actions and I shot mine...
If want to part with a few of those MAB mags let me know..
The rarest as far as numbers produced would be my FAMAS F1 Semi:
2nd would be my 1960 vintage FN FAL (on top):
New here but active in the shooting community since 1973. I collect military weapons, mostly from the 60s-80s and fine shotguns. Retired miitary living in the Ozarks of Missouri.
