I own a 49/56 as well, love the rifle and the way it looks, but I'm okay with it not being very popular as I would have paid far too much for it! Mine is a CAI conversion, but it's been in the hands of many others before me (including an FFL who owned it for ten years) and since I haven't shot it yet I'll just take the guy's word for it that it runs. Stick to the steel case stuff, he said.
Sadly, there aren't many aftermarket parts around for this rifle and we all know the 7,5 french stuff is difficult to find and expensive when you do. I agree with doofus47 in that this rifle would have been immensely popular on the milsurp market had the man behind Century decided to bore and chamber the rifles correctly. I understand that the design shoots minute of man, and that's good enough for me. Still tracking down the perfect optic for it...
