Berthier Mle M.16 Carbine 17.7 in MAC Chatellerault 1927 8mm Lebel (AS-IS)

The Mle M.16 Berthier Carbine is the compact, fast handling evolution of the French Berthier service rifle line. This example was produced at the MAC Chatellerault state arsenal in 1927 and features the short 17.7 inch barrel unique to the M16 carbine pattern. Built with the improved 5 round en bloc magazine system, reinforced stock, and updated sighting arrangement, it delivers the enhanced durability and practical field performance developed after World War I.

The shorter barrel and carbine length stock provide quick handling and reduced weight compared to the full length infantry rifle, while maintaining the reliable Berthier action and the proven 8mm Lebel chambering. Interwar MAC production is known for clean machining, consistent heat treatment, and strong wood fitment, making this variant a desirable example for collectors seeking an authentic late pattern Berthier carbine. The included bayonet further enhances historical completeness and collector value.
