2-Gun Action Challenge: MAS 49/56
2-Gun Action Challenge
•
10m
This month I chose to shoot the 2-Gun Action Challenge Match with a French MAS 49/56, in the original 7.5x54 caliber. I really like the handling of the rifle, and I was curious to see how the sights (rear aperture and a large front post) would work in a practical setting like this competition. As it turned out, I rather like the sights, Not great for target work, but they are pretty effective for making shots like this match is designed around. I do want to see if I can improve the trigger, though, and I may look into making myself a couple extended mags from 24/29 Chatellerault mags.
As usual, my pistol was a late 1940s Argentine Ballester-Molina in .45ACP (which served me well on stage 3, compared to the folks using 9mm). Overall, I placed 28th of 47 shooters.

Once again, we have video today from the monthly 2-gun Action Challenge Match.

So, with the he...
