Does anyone out in the big wide world have a production (Serial No. F1 and above) MAS44 with riveted side plates on the bolt carrier with the carrier numbered to the rifle? I think that "Proud Promise" is incorrect and that only pre-production rifles were riveted. My belief is that all series production rifles were not riveted but rather dimpled as seen on the example below. So......all you guys who have a MAS44, tell me which you have please. Thanks in advance.
1. Riveted or dimpled?
2. Bolt carrier numbered to rifle?
