Mas 45:
In June 1945, French troops took control of the Mauser factory in Obendorf, requesting the production of a .22 LR training carbine with a magazine. The Mauser engineers, utilizing existing parts in stock, developed prototypes in October 1945. These prototypes incorporated a combination of the single-shot Mauser KKW mechanism and the magazine/magazine well of the Mauser Model 37 (also known as Mm 510).
Between December 1945 and the end of June 1946, approximately 10,000 to 15,000 "Mauser 45" units were manufactured. While some were crafted from existing KKW components (with the distinctive Mauser 45 stock), the majority were newly produced. Under Soviet pressure, the French were compelled to dismantle the factory in Oberndorf, relocating parts to St-Etienne. The production of Mauser/MAS, utilizing German parts in France, likely commenced towards the conclusion of 1947. These bear serial numbers prefixed with an “F” up until the end of production, with an estimated 3,000 units produced.
Post-serial number F 3000/F 3100, carbines were entirely fashioned from French components, and the Mauser marking ceased. By the end of production in 1965 or slightly later, serial numbers had advanced to F 33000.
In the early 1950s, A limited quantity of Mas 45 units was dispatched to Israel in response to the Israeli military's request for troop training purposes.
