This is an outstanding exampe of the rare French Mle. 1917 RSC 8mm Lebel semi-auto rifle. Late style knurled steel cocking knob. MA S 1918, double stamped, on the barrel. July 1918 dated stock cartouche. Matching numbers, with the exception of the stock (which is about 535 numbers away). Last style bolt hold open device. Retains 95% original blue overall. Receiver is marked on the left side: MANUFACTURES NATIONALES MA.S MLE 1917. Bore is fine with sharp rifling. We have not disassembled this gun. We have not fired this item. From what we can tell, this gun still retains the original gas block, which means it's in the original semi-auto configuration. Stocks have dings and sratches, there is a hairline crack in the forend by the gas port on the right side (hard to see in picture as there is a scrape there too, but we did our best, it's solid). Fine mechanical function. Not import marked. Serial number is F83383
