sg1 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Just acquired a French made MaC(intitials in a diamond shape) 12G SxS which is plain looking with no engraving , Manual safety and Full+ 1/2 choke barrels. Barrels are chromed and chambered for 2 3/4" cartridges. Has anyone heard any bad reports on these shotties or are they just Solid, Reliable shooters from 50+ years ago? atvb sg1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy H Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) MAC = Manufacture Nat. d'Armes de Chatellerault. From 1816 to 1968, Châtellerault was a center of sword and arms manufacture for the French government.The Manufacture d'armes de Châtellerault was one of France's 4 main infantry weapon manufactures operated by the French state. It was created in 1819 and closed as a weapon manufacturing facility in 1968. It saw the creation in 1886, and later the mass production, of the Lebel rifle which was the main French infantry weapon used during the First World War (1914–18). The facility has now been transformed into the central repository (Centre des Archives de l'Armement et du Personnel) of all the French military archives related to armament matters Edited March 4, 2011 by Andy H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
