Mas M 45
Anyone got a Mas M45 .22 trainer? Friend of mine just bought one in "as new" condition. Its a really well made rifle with a light (beech)? stock and parkerised metalwork. I was really impressed with the accuracy of this rifle.
Any info or links would be appreciated.

The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it.

DH Taxi fell in love at first sight! We had to prise the rifle from his sticky little fingers. He reckons he is phoning the owner tonight to make him a offer he cant refuse

MAS 45
I was given a MAS 45 barreled action crudely fitted into a cut down Mauser 98 stock by a friend.
It took me several years here in Canada to locate a correct stock, but I finally did and now I have nearly the complete rifle. I am still looking for a but plate for the stock.
The rifle shoots well, though three to four inches high at 50 yards, when it shoots, but it does not fire consistently nor does it extract reliably.
I don't know if it is a firing pin or ammunition problem yet.
I will try different ammunition next time out, but do you have any suggestions for solving the extraction problem?
