Very Scarce French Berthier M.1907-15 M.34 Infantry Short Rifle Caliber: 7.5 x 54 mm Price: $2475 Inventory # mlr_0041 Pictures:	DESCRIPTION: Very scarce French Berthier M.1907-15 M.34 infantry short rifle. The rifle started its life as a Mannlicher-Berthier M.1907-15, and then it was upgraded to M.34 configuration by St.Etienne arsenal in 1937, as indicated by markings and a date on the chamber under the hand guard. The Mannlicher type magazine was replaced with the charger-loaded Mauser type magazine. The rifle was rebarreled with the new, shorter one in 7.5 mm caliber (Balle 1929 C). The sights and the stock were modified accordingly. There is no provision for cleaning rod. The rifle accepts standard Lebel-type bayonet. There are following markings on the receiver: "Mle. 1907-15 M.34 MAS CAL.7.5". The serial numbers are matching, except for the butt plate. The numbers on the bolt and stock were probably restamped when the rifle was converted to M.34 configuration. The rifle comes with the cut-away bolt, which may indicate that it was used for training purpose, either by the St.Etienne factory, or by some French military school. Both, the bolt body and bolt head are cut-away, to allow examination of the firing pin mechanism (the extra bolt body for M.34 without any cuts is also included).
