Product Information

This is an all matching numbers 1918 dated French military Berthier Mle 1907-15 (M16) carbine chambered in 8mm. All visible numbers are matching including the bolt and even the cleaning rod . The M16 was first issued and used in the Great War, being used by frontline troops, it was ideally suited for trench warfare. 1916 saw the magazine capacity upgraded to five-round charger-loading from three after concerns were raised by troops during trench raiding parties. The three shot capacity put French soldiers at disadvantage when fighting against Germans armed with 5-shot Mauser Gew98 & KAR98s. This example is in great original condition as is the bore.

An FAC with the correct variation is required to purchase this rifle.
