Original French MAS 49-56 Magazine – 7.62 NATO 10-Round Military Surplus
Up for sale is an original 10-round magazine for the French MAS 49-56 rifle, chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO. This military surplus magazine was manufactured for use with the later-export variant of the MAS 49-56, converted from 7.5 French to meet NATO ammunition standards—primarily for foreign military sales and limited French deployments.
Constructed of blued steel, the magazine features a rugged, no-nonsense design with a steel follower and sturdy feed lips. The mag offered here is in excellent condition for its age, with strong spring tension, light surface wear, and no structural damage. These mags were never made in large numbers, and original 7.62 NATO MAS 49-56 magazines have become difficult to source, especially outside Europe.
This is a must-have item for any MAS 49-56 owner with a 7.62 conversion or for collectors of Cold War-era French military firearms. While the 7.5mm mags are more common, the 7.62 NATO version is the rarer and more desirable variant—particularly for those shooting commercially available ammunition.
Whether you’re finishing a build, adding to a Cold War collection, or securing spares for the range, this MAS 49-56 7.62 NATO magazine delivers authenticity and reliability.
