not fully correct. In 7,5x54MAS there were:
* Machine guns MAC-24/29, MAC-31, MAC-34, Darne, AA-52
* Repeating rilfles MAS-36, MAS-36/51
* Semiauto rifle MAS-49
* Sniper rifle FR F1
Especially the FR F1 would be really nice to have! Unfortunately I have never seen any of those offered anywhere. And they have been converted to 7,62Nato later on.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FR_F1It's a little too large in the base to rechamber the sporter into .308, and too big at the neck to rechamber in 7.5 Swiss. The bastards.
Nah, rechambering/rebarreling is for bubbas. The fascinating thing about old military rifles is to shoot (and reload) them in their original caliber. you know, variety is the spice of life
