French Underfolding Paratrooper Rifle: MAS 36 CR39

www.headstamppublishing.com/f...
The CR39 ("crosse repliable", or folding stock) is the paratrooper version of the MAS 36. The need for a more compact and transportable pattern was recognized almost as soon as the MAS 36 was finalized, originally for paratroops but in practice also for alpine troops. Two years were spent devising the new rifle, starting in 1937, and in 1939 is was formally adopted. The barrel was shortened about 5 inches (from 575mm to 450mm), and the wooden stock replaced by a cast aluminum stock that folded underneath the action. A unique and very cool sling design went Alon with the new stock; a spring winder (like a car's seat belt) was fitted in the stock so that the sling would coil up neatly as the stock was folded. These winders are rather fragile, however, and usually broken today.
A small number of CR39s were produced before the 1940 armistice, and production restarted almost immediately upon liberation of St Etienne. The CR39 would remain in production until 1960, with almost 34,000 made in total.

Today we can ask why they didn't build it side folding, but I have a impression that under/over folding stocks was really common at the time. So maybe the engineers were just following the trends, after all, the whole rifle was conceived to be as simple as possible (for the time).

The movie project for which "Fake" Cr 39s were made is the wonderfully underappreciated french movie "Dien Bien phu", about the battle of the same name. It was directed by Pierre Schoenderffer, a former french war correspondant that actually was dropped on Dien Bien Phu in the later stages of the battle, and spent a few years in a viet minh prison camp after the fall of the french defenses. I would advise anybody interesssted in the battle to watch this movie, it is absolutely wonderful (and, as a french, gutwrenching).

Hello Ian. Very good video. The paras version of the Mas 36 and the PM MAT49 with retractable stock and its magazine folding system were effectively designed in relation to the use of the paras units. And then in terms of shooting distance for the MAS 36 paras, the weapon was shorter at the level of the barrel but but a problem in view of the context of jungle in Indochina and in the djebels in Algeria, mountainous area with low vegetation but dense, the engagement distances for combat fire was therefore also shorter. It seems to me that the classic MAS 36, so the non-folding butt in the paras was mainly used for shooting grenade launches, the FM24 / 29 in fire support, Before the AA52 is put into service. Cordially. 🇫🇷⚓🇺🇲
