This is a French MAS 49/56 Semi-auto rifle. It is in good condition and still has some cosmolene in it. The cosmolene was never completely cleaned from the rifle inside so it is just like it was unpacked. It has been rechambered from it's original 7.62x51 caliber to a standard 308 Nato round. This is an above average MAS. See the pictures for closer description. It is not perfect but neither would you be if you were that age. It is very nice for it's age.
