What do you have to trade?

 

[Scott76]

Well I was gonna put up a Mle berthier produced by remington for France. Also comes with 100 rounds of 8mm lebel

 

[Scott76]

I do have a few other bolt action guns I'd be willing to part with

There is a big Black Powder Gun Show in March ( 12th and 13th ) at Enumclaw Wa.
Plenty of flintlocks there for sure.

Well, I don't have a Flint, Bucket List fer now, but am curious abt your MLE Berthier if you might want to part w/ it.
Sorry, not trying to " Hi-Jack"

Nah it's alright, so basically the French needed a whole lot of guns to requipe the forces but didn't have the ability to produce it all so one of the companies they hired was remington. Well tge french excepted non of tgem, this was back in the early 1900. So remington took them all back and sold them to the public

There matching it's a percussion rifle and revolver idk what the rifle is but the revolver is a 1851 there 1971 pieta I'm pretty sure sold as a collection it's a muzzle loader rifle also the revolver is in a display case I have everything for it besides powder it has plenty of lead bullets and a bullet caster to make some

The 8mm Lebel rnd was IIRC the 1st Smokless powder rnd showing up for Military use.
There is a plethora of Berthier rifles in the history.
Old photos show Frogs using them & in old movies.

A mdl 91 morphed into a 91/08 & then a Cut Down version became the MLE mdl 16, or some just marked M-16.

In the past 8mm Lebel was available fer 5 cents / rnd in Hotchkiss clipps.
220 gr MG Loads.

Shooting them out of a featherweight M-17 Berthier Is Truley FELT RECOIL..
