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.

Most of the rifles have worn stocks with cracks.

These 1907/15 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 [email protected].

Frequently Asked Questions
What caliber does the Berthier Mle 1907/15 use?
The Berthier Mle 1907/15 is chambered in 8mm Lebel and feeds from a 3-round en-bloc clip. 8mm Lebel is an obsolete cartridge available from specialty makers and handloaders.
Where was the Berthier 1907/15 used?
It was one of the main French infantry rifles of World War I and continued to see action in World War II, the Spanish Civil War, and other conflicts. These examples arrived from Africa.
Can I get a matching-numbers Berthier?
Yes. The standard offering is Grade B Non-Matching, but matching bolt and receiver examples and other grades are available. Call 9-5 EST Monday-Friday, or email customer service with your phone number to arrange a specific grade.
Is this rifle in working condition?
Yes. These Berthiers are in 100% functional working order. Most have worn stocks with some cracks, consistent with a century-old service rifle.
How does the Berthier compare to other WWI rifles?
The Berthier used a 3-round en-bloc clip, smaller than the Lebel tube magazine it supplemented. It was valued for its faster reloading and served as a standard French infantry arm alongside the Lebel.
Is this rifle C&R eligible?
Yes. The Berthier 1907/15 qualifies as a Curio & Relic, so it ships to an FFL or C&R (Type 03) license holder. Email your license to [email protected] with your order number.

6 reviews for French Berthier Mle 1907/15 Rifle

  1. Kevin L –

    Ordered a Grade A non-matching. Rifle is all matching except the bolt. Pleasantly surprised to get a somewhat rare Delaney Bellevue, with even rarer night sights.

  2. Mike –

    Ordered my rifle in early December. It finally came in late January. The rifle was in very poor condition: broken stock (cobbled together w/tacks), bent rear sight, bolt screw stripped out, busted extractor, etc.). I understand Grade B on a 100+ year old rifle is going to be a little rough, but this thing should have been sold as a parts gun – in no way was it shootable. I ended up sending it back to RTI and they sent me another one (pretty quickly). The second one I received was a LOT better (more like what I was hoping for originally). A St. Etienne rifle w/a surprisingly nice bore. The only thing missing was it’s front sight (however, I was able to find a replacement from Liberty Tree). Took it out to the range and it actually shoots really nice (surprisingly good groups out to 100 yds – haven’t pushed it further yet). So, at the end of the day, I’m happy w/the purchase. It was a bit of a hassle to get here, but RTI eventually made things right.

  3. Michael –

    I received a very nice rifle that just needed a good cleaning. Smooth action, nice bore, & also night sights. Very pleased

  4. Dan M –

    Im happy to give 1 of these rare Berthiers a positive review. I was very happy with the rifle i received. I bought a grade B matching and now a grade A non matching. (havent got the grade A yet) The grade B cleaned up really nice. Bore/stock is really nice for its age and use. For a grade B its very good. Finish was a little worn but its a grade B and old (to be expected) I have posted reviews on all my items ive purchased so that i can share my experience with others. These rifles are rare. Dont miss your chance before their gone! I cant wait to get the Grade A!

  5. Aiden Gerakis –

    First off i rated 4 stars instead of 5 because it took 34 days to get my rifle. I am pretty happy with the rifle i recieved the rifle was clearly wire wheeled. Though i will say the only non matching part is the rear sight, which kinda sucks because its suppost to have a night rear sight but was swapped for an original. The barrel looks pretty good

  6. christopher warren –

    received my grade a matching and i am highly pleased.gave it a good cleaning and it was ready to go.was fortunate enough to get one with the more rare turned down bolt ! this is my second time ordering from rti and had a good experience each time
