The French Berthier carbine - an amazing piece of WWI history!

MAC is viewer supported via Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/militaryarms We don't accept money from firearms companies so we can be objective and honest about our opinions on the firearms we feature. Please consider supporting us in our mission!

If you carry a gun for personal defense, you need to be protected from lawsuits or criminal charges should you need to use your firearm defensively. I recommend USCCA: https://tracking.deltadefense.com/aff_c?offer_id=94&aff_id=18652

The French adopted the Berthier in the 1890's as a possible replacement for the 1886 Lebel rifle. It didn't take long for the once forward thinking Lebel to become obsolete with the advent of the internal box magazine.
