Transferable MA-49

[mojopin]

Was offered a transferable MAT-49 for 34,000 with a dealer premium,* which seems about right.* Spare parts seem rather plentiful,* but there seems to be a utter lack of available magazines.* Thoughts?

I love mine. Have 5 mags. I drilled out a spare rear sight so I could actually aim and see lol

You can find mags on gunbroker

Any common parts breakage that I should be aware of?

Anything in particular you like about it?
More than the folding novelty?

9mm Greasegun vibe. Just smooth like a mp40, but the stock is better and drilling out the rear sight is way better. It’s never gonna be a CFW A bolt in a m11/9 but it’s that smooth. For an all metal iron sighted 9mm subgun you can’t ask for much more

They seem to be relatively uncommon, kinda of torn between a MAT-49 or a PPS-43

Pps43 is not smooth and the underfolding stock sucks balls. Also call me a drama queen but I hate tangent sights

All fair, I have a Medea Corp Grease Gun shell being finished up at some point, wanted a 9mm SMG too. There is a relatively inexpensive Madson M-50 available, a Swedish K and this MAS-49 all up for sale currently.

 

[TheColtCollector]

Well mat49s are the rarest to come up for sale, at least I think so. I vote for that all else being considered equal

 

[mojopin]

Rare and quirky sorta my thing.

 

[Strangeranger]

Swedish Ks are hard to beat. If you can get one right forget the others

 

[mojopin]

If you have leads on magazine(s) let me know

If i had leads I’d buy them for me!

 

[mojopin]

Fair enough. Kinda of a deal breaker without the mags. Someone sent me a link for a French auction site that lots of Mat-49 stuff on it but all the magazines had one feed lip ground off to meet demil requirements

 

[timkel]

MAT-49 mags are out there. The hunt is part of the game.

Swedish K!
