Hey everyone. I picked this berthier up last weekend and it has one heck of a history. I guy walked in to the gun show with it and no one wanted it because of its condition. He brought it to me and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. It originally was a model 1890 with its original barrel but was upgraded over time to a model 1892 m16 carbine. It's all matching but is missing the bolt head, which I have ordered from Liberty Tree and it should be here in a couple of days. There are two cuts in the stock that I found very interesting. The one in the stock wrist was repaired a long time ago with "wiggle screws". The other is a recognizable duffle cut underneath the front barrel band. I talked to the seller and we came to a price of $60 for it which made us both happy as he just wanted to get rid of it. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
