McCann Industries MAS 49/56 in the Elbonian Royal Air Service
This video explores the McCann Industries MAS 49/56, a modernized rifle originally purchased by the Elbonian Royal Air Service for aerial interdiction. The Elbonians attempted to replicate French designs, acquiring MAS 49/56 rifles from McCann Industries, which were converted to 7.62x51mm and fitted with an aluminum lower accepting AR grips and stocks, along with quad rails. The video highlights that this is a rare McCann Industries modernized variant and draws parallels to the work of French gunsmith Herlé Kaigre on the MAS 49/56 MSB. It touches on the French Air Force's past use of modernized semi-automatic rifles for similar missions before adopting the FN SCAR-H.
