After hem-hawing back and forth for 2 days, I finally went back to the Stout Field show and picked this up this morning. Model 1916 Berthier infantry rifle (WWI and WWII rifle). I have always loved the lines of the Berthiers and this one is in really good shape for a 100 year old rifle. The 8mm Lebel round is a lot of fun to shoot too. It was the first smokeless cartridge and was a vast improvement over the black powder cartridges of the time.
