Don't see the MAS 223 come up very often. It's currently twice as much as the last one I saw go for sale. :O

Oh man, never saw the final price for the one Ian posted. I guess 20k is the new norm.
It's one of the top guns on my Firearms I'll Own Someday list. Someday it shall be mine. =D

The French are replacing theirs. Shame there probably won't be parts kits available.
