Tell me in a little more details please - There was a paratrooper version with a under-folding stock - Could that have been it?

It had a butchered stock someone had tried to skeletonize..
Ugh.. 7.5 French...

Paratroop had an aluminum buttstock, the CR39 IIRC. The skelotinized MAS36 may have been a poor attempt at recreating a FRF1 or FRF2 sniper rifle?
ColdSteel14:
No.. Some bubba took a router or a jigsaw and cut a big lightening hole in a standard buttstock! It was bad. It almost looked unsafe to fire. I wondered if the recoil would shatter the little wood that was left and stuff the sharp ends into your shoulder.
I got roped into buying it on a package deal with some other guns.

Good way to ruin a rifle - But then they were cheap enough back then anyways -
