What you have there is a hell of a deal. Good score. I don't know any more specifics than you can google.

Go to Rim-Fire Central
Page down to the Military trainer section.
$75 for a MAS 45 is a steal.

I have seen them go for $400-$450 in good condition.

You seriously stole that rifle.
As you described - brand new, covered in cosmoline, & still wrapped in waxpaper, and included 6 mags & a sling. I paid $500.00 for mine (California price) but, it would have sold for $400 just about anywhere else.
Great little rifle with a very good reputation for accuracy- made in France, with Mauser tooling. Production was from mid forties to late fifties (?).
Here's a pic of mine after unwrapping - before cleaning all the cosmoline off (nasty job).

Holy Crap. That was a steal. I paid $400.
I have put a scope on mine without drilling a tapping (there are two screws holding down the rear sight, and I replaced it with a bit of weaver base). I was very interested in seeing what this rifle was capable of. There's a string at Rimfire Shooting:

These guns will shoot. The peep sights are excellent, but with a scope I can do .5 inch groups at 50 and when the wind is calm, 1 inch groups at 100 with Wolf Match. I am very impressed with this rifle.
Here's a link to a french website with some specs:

If you use Google, it will translate it reasonably well.
Enjoy that beauty!

Thanks guys for all the info! I have read somewhere that an import stamp brings down value. Is this true? Im pretty sure mine has an import mark on the under side of the barrel. I would have never of guessed the value and following this rifle has.
