Anyone have a way of getting rid of cigarette smell?

Picked up a MAS 45 kit gun to replace the cracked stock on mine.

It smells like it was soaked in concentrated nicotine.....

Need some help identifying dual carter's, no numbers on base or tags.

They're marked 1 and 2, so idk if they were a matched pair

Thanks

MAS 49 bring back

Another LGS find. And I'm not sure exactly what I have.

There's not a lot of info out there on this. So any help will be greatly appreciated [Edit:] I definitely should have called it a possible " bring back". The lgs didn't say it was, I found the card in the scope case. I'll use the scope on my 49/56. Has anyone seen a non Syrian 49 that hasn't been rearasenaled?

My first milsurp, and I have a few questions...

Picked everything here up from an LGS. I have a basic google/ YouTube, post search knowledge of the 49/56 but I sure could use some help.

I know that I should change the firing pin. Is there a noticeable difference between the titanium and added spring pin? Is there a way to find out what year this was of manufactured?

Is this ammo similar to PPU? After changing the firing pin and a thorough cleaning, I'll chamber one round and work my way to a full magazine.

Is there anything else to watch for?

Thanks
