Hi everyone. I picked this up yesterday and I got some pics of it last night. My friend who is a milsurp dealer at our little gun shows down here came into possession of a Lebel and a Berthier and he asked me if I would want one. I said sure but I had spent my money on a mostly matching BNZ 42 K98icon and a Hanyang 88. He picked up the Berthier and told me I could have it at the expense of the $50 he put into buying it. I came home to find out it is a Tulle M16icon that had been reassembled in 1926. Also I found that this rifle had the 3 shot open bottom on it instead of the 5 shot magazine and it had a broken rear sling swivel which I have ordered a new one from Liberty Tree. It is a great little gun but condition is near horrendous (It looks like it got run over by a truck). I'm thinking about putting the 5 shot mag back on it but I'm not sure if the mags were numbered to the rifles or not. Mine has all matching numbers except for the 3 shot open bottom. Hope you all enjoy and comments are very welcome.
