I inherited a French MAS 36 years ago and finally got fresh brass from Graf. Loaded it and took it to our local range. The gun groups fairly decently at 100 yards, but about 1' or so to the right. I went to adjust the windage and discovered that you can't.....there's no provision for it at all.
After some research, I found that the rifle is designed this way and that windage changes are made by changing out the entire rear sight aperture for another one. Each is evidently marked in centimeters (I think) and either right or left, depending on which way you want the point of impact to change. Fine.......I guess the average French soldier can't be taught sight adjustment and I learned something about French arms design, but that doesn't help me much.
Does anyone know where replacement rear sight apertures can be obtained? Nothing comes up at Gun Parts Inc. or any of the other suppliers I know of. Has anyone come up with a modification of some sort to allow adjusment?
