Berthier M-1890 carbine

**Ruffasacob** · 05-08-2018 03:23 PM

I recently picked up this really fantastic condition 1890 Berthier carbine. The gentleman I got it from, got it from a family friend who brought it back from WWII. I really don't know the details of French icon

rifles. Any insights would be appreciated. I have read the excellent post by 1886lebel.
Thanks

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

One question I have is there is no provision for a cleaning rod on my rifle. The front barrel band does have the recess for it, but the wood does not, just the bayonet lug. Does this look right?
Thanks

That is the nicest one I've ever seen unless it's been reworked. Cleaning rods were phased out with the wood channel being filled. Never having a wood channel to start with seems odd for one without the additional magazine for 5 rounds.
