The '''MAS-36''' is a French military bolt-action rifle. It was first manufactured by Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Étienne (MAS) in 1937. Originally intended to replace the aging [[Lebel 1886]] and [[Berthier Rifles]] in military service, only around 250,000 rifles were produced by the time of the Battle of France in 1940. Following the Second World War, production of the MAS-36 ramped up and the rifle was widely used by the French military during the conflicts of the early Cold War, such as the First Indochina War, the Suez Crisis, and the Algerian War. In all, 1.1 million rifles were manufactured between 1937 and 1952. It would be replaced by the semi-automatic [[MAS-49]].
 +
 +
The MAS-36 took design inspiration from various rifles encountered by the French in the First World War, such as the [[Lee-Enfield]], [[M1917 Enfield]], and [[Gewehr 1898]]. Its design is very simple compared to earlier French military rifles, with just five parts removable by the user. In 1951, the '''MAS 36/51''' variant was introduced, which features a strengthened barrel and a 22mm NATO-spec rifle grenade launcher. The MAS-36 would gain a reputation for being very simple, but extremely reliable. The MAS-36 was distributed to multiple African nations and Syria during the Cold War and continues to be used in regional conflicts in Africa and the Middle East.

The MAS-36 is a French military bolt-action rifle. It was first manufactured by Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Étienne (MAS) in 1937. Originally intended to replace the aging Lebel 1886 and Berthier Rifles in military service, only around 250,000 rifles were produced by the time of the Battle of France in 1940. Following the Second World War, production of the MAS-36 ramped up and the rifle was widely used by the French military during the conflicts of the early Cold War, such as the First Indochina War, the Suez Crisis, and the Algerian War. In all, 1.1 million rifles were manufactured between 1937 and 1952. It would be replaced by the semi-automatic MAS-49.

The MAS-36 took design inspiration from various rifles encountered by the French in the First World War, such as the Lee-Enfield, M1917 Enfield, and Gewehr 1898. Its design is very simple compared to earlier French military rifles, with just five parts removable by the user. In 1951, the MAS 36/51 variant was introduced, which features a strengthened barrel and a 22mm NATO-spec rifle grenade launcher. The MAS-36 would gain a reputation for being very simple, but extremely reliable. The MAS-36 was distributed to multiple African nations and Syria during the Cold War and continues to be used in regional conflicts in Africa and the Middle East.
