MAS 36 1955
big Sam 08 Juin 2013, 12:08
bonjour à tous,
je viens de rajouter un Mas36 dans ma collection, rien de plus banal si ce n'est qu'il n'a pas était modifié en arsenal dans les années 60
il est donc resté dans sa finition d'origine,daté de 1955 et au n°
crosse en platane dirait-on !?

FH c'est l'avant dernière série, il est intérèssant d'en voir un exemplaire "en l'état".
Il y a une grande différence de qualité entre fabrication initiale pour usage en corps de troupe et reconditionnement avant déclassement en 3e réserve.

Bonsoir Dédédédé a écrit:

Pour répondre un peut plus clairement à ta question :
Sur les fusils , lors du reconditionnement , les pièces abimées ou usées ont été changées par des pièces de remplacement .
Ces pièces neuves de stock ne sont pas matriculées .
Il est très fréquent de rencontrer ces armes au jour d'huit avec seulement le boitier et le levier de culasse de matriculés . Et encore ...
Voici un exemple d'une culasse neuve de remplacement ; tu constates qu'elle n'est pas matriculée :
L'intérêt de l'arme de super Big est qu'il n'en est rien .
Toutes les pièces sensées être matriculées lors de l'assemblage premier de l'arme y sont au numéro .
C'est un plus démontrant et assurant l'homogénéité de l'arme .

Le reconditionnement était il systématique ? Ou ne concernait que les partie endommager ?
Question : 3 eme resserve , cela signifie quoi exactement ?

Le reconditionnement concernait les armes conditionnées, stockées « longue durée » qui se trouvaient à l’organe mobilisateur des unités ayant en charge une unité de réserve, ou en attente dans des établissements du matériel. Elles étaient classifiées en « position 62 ».
Périodiquement, les inspecteurs du matériel déconditionnaient ces armes pour contrôle. Elles étaient ensuite reconditionnées par l’O.S.D. (Organisme de Soutien Direct), en général un E.R.M. (Etablissement Régional du Matériel) voire E.R.G.M. (Etablissement de Réserve Générale du Matériel) suivant la situation géographique de l’unité à soutenir. En principe, il n’y avait pas de réparation, les armes n’ayant jamais servi. Chaque type d’arme avait une façon particulière d’être conditionnée.
Il arrivait, parfois, que ces armes soient déconditionnées pour être mise à la disposition (autorisation ministérielle) de l’unité de réserve pour une situation particulière, manœuvres, crises ou autres.
Ne pas confondre avec réparation ou reconstruction.
Réparation : suivant la nature des pièces, par le 2ème échelon (Corps de Troupe) ou le 3ème échelon (O.S.D./E.R.M.). Remplacement des pièces usagées ou défectueuses par des pièces neuves ou de récupération d’un très bon état général.
Reconstruction : 4ème échelon (E.R.G.M.), l’arme était totalement démontée. Si sa carcasse ou boite de culasse, suivant l’arme et qui comportait le matricule principal, était en excellent état, elle était remontée avec des pièces neuves dont certaines étaient frappées au matricule de cette arme (mais pas toujours). Certaines de ces armes étaient reconnaissables par la frappe d’un rectangle dans lequel on pouvait trouver, par exemple sur un M.A.S. 36 : P 67 (reconstruite à Poitiers en 1967) ou sur un M.A.S. 49/56 : P 78 (reconstruite à Poitiers en 1978).
Le même principe était appliqué aux véhicules. Le matricule principal étant celui du châssis, si celui-ci était en parfait état tout était remplacé par des pièces et ensembles neufs. Seule l’immatriculation changeait avec le dernier chiffre de l’année de reconstruction, le chiffre du type de véhicule était augmenté de 4 et un nouveau numéro de série (XXXX) lui était attribué.
Exemple : une Jeep neuve de 1961 : 211 XXXX reconstruite en 1967 devenait : 275 XXXX
C’est à cela que l’on reconnaissait un véhicule reconstruit.
Bien entendu, j’écris au passé n’étant plus au courant des « nouvelles normes », avec tous les changements successifs intervenus depuis 1990.
Le service du matériel étant devenu arme du matériel et les ERM ou ERGM devenus R.MAT (Régiment du MATériel) ou BSMAT (Base de Soutien du MATériel).

************************************************** *******************
The "MYSTERY" rifles are eccentric to serial-production. They are divided only upon the basis of whether they have been stamped with an un-prefix number, or are sterile/devoid of any numbers. The "Sterile" examples uniquely exhibit improper headspace. (Four of the nine examples listed will not close on "GO") Aside from this defect, both "Numbered" and "Sterile" units are possessed of the following anomalies:
1] They are unissued; perhaps unfired.
2] They are a collection of near-Armistice parts, some 'pickled'/acid-etched and not 'stoved'/blackened; some appearing to have been defective/rejected parts.
3] The top-flats of the rear sight have not had the stoving removed
4] Many of the spanner-notched screws appear to have been slotted before installation
5] The quality of assemblage is not as consistent, nor to the standard of serial-production examples.
6] The bayonets are from earlier rifles, or replacements of a latter-day.
7] None are import marked.
8] Some have incorrect sight-leafs, and will not shoot to point of aim.
9] They all have 'Type 2' factory receivers, some of the later type.
10] Some have a 'sticky' bolt-cap, which requires detenting the striker, and the use of a gripping tool, for removal.

These STERILE rifles appear to be as numerous, if not more so, than the "Numbered" examples. However, due to their nature, it is difficult to avoid double entries. I have settled upon the above as a representitive sampling, but will make further entries contingent upon any unique features which are observed.
Exclusive to the "Numbered" examples:
1] The font of the numbering to very different than that which is used upon the serialized rifles.
2] The bolt-stems, when marked, are numbered upon the outboard side.

TIR REDUIT.
22 calibre, full size MAS 1936 training rifle, made for and accepted by the Vichy military. By all indications this production run appears to be a minor footnote, with little more than 1,000 units being fabricated per month, at least during the first four months. But it is the earliest documented series to incorporate all of the design changes that make the post-Liberation "script prefix" blocks unique from the pre-June 25, 1940 Armastice, MAS 36s.

************************************************** *******************
The "MYSTERY" rifles are eccentric to serial-production. They are divided only upon the basis of whether they have been stamped with an un-prefix number, or are sterile/devoid of any numbers. The "Sterile" examples uniquely exhibit improper headspace. (Four of the nine examples listed will not close on "GO") Aside from this defect, both "Numbered" and "Sterile" units are possessed of the following anomalies:
1] They are unissued; perhaps unfired.
2] They are a collection of near-Armistice parts, some 'pickled'/acid-etched and not 'stoved'/blackened; some appearing to have been defective/rejected parts.
3] The top-flats of the rear sight have not had the stoving removed
4] Many of the spanner-notched screws appear to have been slotted before installation
5] The quality of assemblage is not as consistent, nor to the standard of serial-production examples.
6] The bayonets are from earlier rifles, or replacements of a latter-day.
7] None are import marked.
8] Some have incorrect sight-leafs, and will not shoot to point of aim.
9] They all have 'Type 2' factory receivers, some of the later type.
10] Some have a 'sticky' bolt-cap, which requires detenting the striker, and the use of a gripping tool, for removal.

These STERILE rifles appear to be as numerous, if not more so, than the "Numbered" examples. However, due to their nature, it is difficult to avoid double entries. I have settled upon the above as a representitive sampling, but will make further entries contingent upon any unique features which are observed.
Exclusive to the "Numbered" examples:
1] The font of the numbering to very different than that which is used upon the serialized rifles.
2] The bolt-stems, when marked, are numbered upon the outboard side.

TIR REDUIT.
22 calibre, full size MAS 1936 training rifle, made for and accepted by the Vichy military. By all indications this production run appears to be a minor footnote, with little more than 1,000 units being fabricated per month, at least during the first four months. But it is the earliest documented series to incorporate all of the design changes that make the post-Liberation "script prefix" blocks unique from the pre-June 25, 1940 Armastice, MAS 36s.

[quote="TOMEÏ"]
Le reconditionnement concernait les armes conditionnées, stockées « longue durée » qui se trouvaient à l’organe mobilisateur des unités ayant en charge une unité de réserve, ou en attente dans des établissements du matériel. Elles étaient classifiées en « position 62 ».
Périodiquement, les inspecteurs du matériel déconditionnaient ces armes pour contrôle. Elles étaient ensuite reconditionnées par l’O.S.D. (Organisme de Soutien Direct), en général un E.R.M. (Etablissement Régional du Matériel) voire E.R.G.M. (Etablissement de Réserve Générale du Matériel) suivant la situation géographique de l’unité à soutenir. En principe, il n’y avait pas de réparation, les armes n’ayant jamais servi. Chaque type d’arme avait une façon particulière d’être conditionnée.
Il arrivait, parfois, que ces armes soient déconditionnées pour être mise à la disposition (autorisation ministérielle) de l’unité de réserve pour une situation particulière, manœuvres, crises ou autres.
Ne pas confondre avec réparation ou reconstruction.
Réparation : suivant la nature des pièces, par le 2ème échelon (Corps de Troupe) ou le 3ème échelon (O.S.D./E.R.M.). Remplacement des pièces usagées ou défectueuses par des pièces neuves ou de récupération d’un très bon état général.
Reconstruction : 4ème échelon (E.R.G.M.), l’arme était totalement démontée. Si sa carcasse ou boite de culasse, suivant l’arme et qui comportait le matricule principal, était en excellent état, elle était remontée avec des pièces neuves dont certaines étaient frappées au matricule de cette arme (mais pas toujours). Certaines de ces armes étaient reconnaissables par la frappe d’un rectangle dans lequel on pouvait trouver, par exemple sur un M.A.S. 36 : P 67 (reconstruite à Poitiers en 1967) ou sur un M.A.S. 49/56 : P 78 (reconstruite à Poitiers en 1978).
Le même principe était appliqué aux véhicules. Le matricule principal étant celui du châssis, si celui-ci était en parfait état tout était remplacé par des pièces et ensembles neufs. Seule l’immatriculation changeait avec le dernier chiffre de l’année de reconstruction, le chiffre du type de véhicule était augmenté de 4 et un nouveau numéro de série (XXXX) lui était attribué.
Exemple : une Jeep neuve de 1961 : 211 XXXX reconstruite en 1967 devenait : 275 XXXX
C’est à cela que l’on reconnaissait un véhicule reconstruit.
Bien entendu, j’écris au passé n’étant plus au courant des « nouvelles normes », avec tous les changements successifs intervenus depuis 1990.
Le service du matériel étant devenu arme du matériel et les ERM ou ERGM devenus R.MAT (Régiment du MATériel) ou BSMAT (Base de Soutien du MATériel).
total respect on sent le vécu
