Love the titanium firing pins I got years back for my MAS 49/56s.

Wondering if they will work in a MAS 49????

Going through my collection now - doing the annual count and clean.

Whats the odd of a Syrian MAS 49 having the later bolt???

Should be able to post pics in a day or two.

Here it is. No "O's on parts. Looks like a "V" on one.

Thanks again.

All the advice I have see has been for MAS 49/56 or later French updated MAS 49s.

No interest in switching out my bolt.

Seems my only alternative is to blunt/shorten the firing pin. Not a particularly appealing idea considering I don't know if I can get another,

First you will need to check the protrusion of your firing pin inside the bolt face with the bolt assembly in the locked position,

Can you explain what you mean by "bolt assembly in the locked position"?

Thanks again.
