Dating this rifle puts it as a Pre War unit.
I was told that the MAS 36 numbers and letters are as follows: Serial number
prefixes F, G, H, J, up to around K 3100 were all pre-war made.
In on or before October, 1944, the French restarted where they left off in June of
1940 somewhere around K 3100. L, M, N, P,and Q were finished off by 1950.
They then went to block letters: FG, FH, and FJ and so on until 1957.

The MAS Modèle 36 is a military bolt-action rifle. First adopted in 1936 by France
and intended to replace the Berthier and Lebel series of service rifles, it saw service
long past the World War II period.
It was manufactured from late 1937 onward by Manufacture dArmes de Saint-
Etienne (MAS), one of several government-owned arms factories in France.
Only 250,000 MAS-36 rifles were available to equip the French infantry during the
Battle of France in 1940. Mass production finally caught up after World War II and
MAS-36 rifles became widely used in service during the First Indochina War, the
Algerian War, and the Suez Crisis.
Altogether, about 1.1 million MAS-36 rifles had been manufactured when production
ceased in 1952.

Estimated price - due to cut stock - is about $1000
