Name the country of origin and rifles.
For some odd reason I have a feeling they are French however that is just a wild guess. So can anyone identify the rifles and country of these chaps?
Re: Name the country of origin and rifles.
The one on the left looked like a rear locker so something like a MAS hence me thinking they were French and a quick google suggests it is a FR F2

Re: Name the country of origin and rifles.
Thank you for posting that. Top score eh? He has very good cause to be jumping up and down
I was impressed to see the MAS is still giving good service, I did not realise they were still in use in any form or variant.
