I have one of these and my impression is that although it is a bit crude it is fairly well made the one I have has double nitro proofs (15,600psi)which is pretty stiff, it also has 65mm chambers. It has 26 3/4" barrels and weighs over 6 1/2 lbs, so it is not a featherweight. About the numbers stamped on the stock; as I recall there were some of these guns offered by the large surplus gun dealers in the 1970s or so. I would guess there was a connection to the military, maybe like our special services, for recreation of military personnel?? Another thing that is interesting is that 65mm is 2,55904" and 2 9/16 is 2.5625, not a whole lot of difference. Besides the MAC I have 3 Robust 16ga guns and a Verney Carron 12ga that exhibit very good quality. My opinion is that French made guns are a sleeper for someone wanting a gun to shoot. Jim
