If you seek peace, prepare for war -
Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace. -- James Madison
The Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms. -- Samuel Adams, Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 86-87 (Pearce and Hale, eds., Boston, 1850)Comment

GRENADE LAUNCHER??? IN CA????In 1997-1998 (an era the like of which is gone forever) I ordered a MAS 49/56 from AIM. A few days later they started to advertise the MAS 49 so I quickly ordered one of those too.
The MAS came with varying numbers of accessories. AIM tried to send as many different pieces as possible from whatever they had on hand at the moment. With the 49/56 I got a sling, cleaning kit, 3 spare magazines, and a leather magazine carrier. It also came with the second model bayonet. I subsequently obtained an example of the first model from a dealer at the San Mateo show.
I believe the 49 came with every accessory listed in Proud Promise including the night sight (no luminosity left), and cloth cover.
Here is the MAS 49 I received with grenade launcher and grenade sight.
In this left hand view, the launcher's spigot is immediately in front of the muzzle cap. A button on the right side of the cap allows the spigot to be coarsely adjusted for range. The knurled worm gear is for fine adjustment.
In the next photo the spigot has been moved out a little. I hope you can see the range markings.
