7.5x54
The 7.5×54mm French or 7.5 French (designated as the 7,5 × 54 MAS by the C.I.P.) is a rimless bottlenecked rifle cartridge. It was developed by France as an update to the 7.5×57mm MAS mod. 1924 cartridge. It replaced the obsolete 8×50mmR Lebel round used during World War I.
The 7.5×54mm French chamber has an uncommon 12.39 mm (0.488 in) breech diameter and is ballistically comparable to the 7.62×51mm NATO/.308 Winchester round. The 7.5 French cartridge is somewhat similar in appearance to the slightly longer and thicker 7.5×55mm Swiss GP11 round but users should never try to interchange the two rounds.
I inherited these from a friend who passed last year. They came in a pack of 4, sealed in a bag and wrapped in a paper covered in what I believe is cosmolene or some type of petroleum preservative.
I do t know much about them other than they are 7.5x54 French MAS they have a clip on the side...
Anyone here shoot these or have any idea what rifle they go to? They came sealed in a bag of 4 wrapped in what I think is cosmolene or some petroleum derivative. Don't know much about em, but I'd like to sell em when I get a better idea of what they are
For your consideration I have two different lots of 7.5X54 MAS ammo.
First lot is 13 boxes of 15 rounds of Syrian surplus from 1957. $20/box.
Second lot is 5 boxes of French surplus from 1974, on stripper clip, $25/box. SPF!! Thank you!!
Package deal, buy it all for $325.
Trades are not...
I ended up with some oddball rounds and I cant figure out what they are.
Headstamp:
TOP: 76
BOTTOM: 7.5
LEFT: SF
RIGHT: I
I found a pretty detailed page showing different rounds... problem is I found the same headstamp for two different rounds.
First, just the standard ball round showed this...
