When you have plenty of better pistols for concealed carry, but you just want to play 007 for a day...

Lol I want to get one of those just for that reason.

Picked up a Taurus G2C yesterday and also picked up a Nikon P 223 for my AR rifle.

Haven't shot that one (Mas 36), but the ones I've fondled have had rough bolts. Like dragging it across a gravel driveway. How's it shoot?

 

[MountainBear]

Sadly, prices on these, like most milsurps have gone stupid lately. I'm waiting for the market to crash during the next panic when everyone is divesting to buy another $400 AR for $1200...

I think it is also tied to the economy in general. People have cash right now and it's driving prices up.

Phantom man,

Sweet grab!
Did you buy it that way or did you restore it?
...also, is it possible to remove the hood on the front sight and file that post a little thinner, then replace the hood?

Dean,
It came to me this way. It is considered a post war though it was made just after France was liberated but the war was not over. These almost always appear in better shape than the pre-war. They made small mods to the rifles. The sight is part of a unified one piece front cap. I suppose you could cut it to modify it. The issue in my opinion is the width of the post which makes the target impact spot hidden on shots under 150 meters. Also, these rifles had a fixed rear aperture to go with the fixed front. Luckily this shoot on track but if you get one that doesn't you need to replace the rear sight with an off center corrective one.

…interesting. Yeah, I was sayin' that maybe you could file each side of the front sight, in order to make it thinner (skinnier), so you could see the target easier.
Too bad you can't get the hood off without surgery. I suppose if you used a narrow file (maybe one of those "Swedish" one that come in the tall box) and just work at it for a while.
Glad it shoots straight for ya, anyway.

On closer examination the front sight is not attaced to the cap but in unmovable none the less.

And now for something a little different

...what about the hood that covers it?

Yes, the hood is part of the cap. I cannot speak for the other renditions of this model.

 

[DeanMk]

So you could remove the front sight post, but you can't remove the hood in order to do that?....insane.

It's the opposite. You can remove the hood/cap but the front sight is fixed to the barrel without an option to adjust.

...that sounds more like it.
I realize there's no adjustment for the front sight, that's why I suggested filing down the side of it.
You don't need to adjust it, you just need it to not fill up the sight picture so much.

The first and only p80 I've done, runs perfectly. 1000 rounds and only 2 failures both within the first 100 rounds.
