MAS 49 56 in a 2 Gun Match
Cool Forgotten Weapons merch A while back, I ran a 2Gun match on my own with my MAS 4956 (and a plain Glock 19), including the original APX L806 optic. It was not a particularly complex match, but it was fun to give the 4956 a whirl. Takeaways: The 10round magazines of the MAS family are definitely a hindrance in competition. Both the small capacity and the very slow nature of the period web gear, thanks to the external magazine latches. The trigger is also not very good. The APX L806 optic is good and durable, and does allow use of iron sights while mounted. It has a fairly small field of view by modern standards, which can be a problem at closer ranges. My final score was 30th out of 40 shooters. Contact: Forgotten Weapons 6281 N. Oracle, 36270 Tucson, AZ 85704
