Gun Collectors Dream Auction #69 Weapons of War!
Lot 1572:
Up Next We Have a Rare MAS-45 The French .22 Trainer Designed by Mauser, When the French occupied the Mauser factory in April 1945, they found all the tooling to produce .22 caliber rifles still in place and in good order (among other things). The French military did not have a proper training rifle at the time, and they decided to have Mauser design a produce one. The result, adopted for production in August 1945, was essentially a Mauser KKW action with the detachable magazine from the Mauser 410B and a rear-mounted aperture sight. About 10,500 of these Model 45 rifles were made at Mauser by June 1946, when production was shut down in preparation for the demolition of most of the Mauser buildings. Comes With a Leather Sling, and Appears in Great Condition.
