    Berthier Bayonet band VS Lebel Bayonet Band

    Hi Guys

    Curious if the Berthier Bayonet band is identical to the Lebel Bayonet band.

    Thanks for any help on this.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    The Berthier long rifle, similar but not identical, the Berthier Carbines, no. The Berthier has a band spring that catches on the bottom. The lebel band is held by a spring on the right side. Other than that, visually they look the same and both rifles take the same bayonet.

    The Berthier carbines take a completely different bayonet.

    Thank you. Just from images and the lebel one I have I wasn't 100% sure. I did notice the hole placement was different for the springs. Now to make a new barrel and stock up for the berthier!
