Remington FRENCH CONTRACT Model 1907-15 8mm LEBEL Cal. BERTHIER Rifle C&R
Upgrade for the Model 1907 Berthier Rifle
Here we present a C&R Remington Made French Contract Model 1907-15 “Berthier” Rifle. This French military/infantry rifle was manufactured by the Remington Arms Company in Ilion, New York circa 1914-1915 on contract for the French government. At the outbreak of World War I, the Model 1907 Berthier rifle was modified for mass manufacturing, resulting in the Model 1907/15. The sights, barrel band, and stacking hook were simplified to increase the rate of production.
During the early stages of the war, it was quickly recognized that the Model 1907 Berthier's three-shot magazine was simply too small in comparison to foreign weapons, requiring too-frequent reloading. Additionally, it was found that trench mud and grit could enter the weapon through the opening in the bottom of the magazine. To correct these issues, the Model 1916 Berthier rifle was introduced with a five-round en-bloc clip. The clip discharge opening at the bottom of the protruding magazine was replaced by a spring-loaded trapdoor to keep out dirt and debris. This improved 5-shot design was then fitted to existing rifle and carbine-length Berthier models, such as this Model 1907/15.
The overall condition is very good. Original blue finish. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The stock is in good condition: smooth and solid with some little bit of graffiti-like checkering on the left side.
