We now have original French Berthier rifles in stock! These Model 16 rifles arrived from Africa and are in 100% functional and working order. We offer a variety of conditions and the option for numbers matching bolts and receivers. They are chambered for the French 8mm Lebel cartridge and use a 3 round en-bloc clip. Please note: the Berthier M16 rifles we received from Ethiopia do not have the 5 shot extended magazine, but instead have the traditional 3 shot standard capacity magazine as shown in the photos above. These rifles were issued by the French military as one of their main rifles for standard infantry use throughout the First World War and even saw action later during WWII, the Spanish Civil War, and more. Most of the rifles have worn stocks with cracks.

These M16 Berthiers are classified as C&R rifles. C&R rifles (guns manufactured after 1898) need to ship to an FFL or C&R licensed person/address. Please email any C&R or FFL licenses to ffl@rtifirearms.com along with your order number.
