Wasn't the French, the importer, Century Arms converted some and some of the MAS36 bolt actions to this caliber. Most people report the conversions suck.

French did converted some over to .308 themselves -

Very few or prototypes I believe, not general issue.  Some(few) of the MAS36 rifles were converted to a sniper rifle in 7.62x51 as well, the FRF2 IIRC.
