Anyone have use for 8mm Lebel ammo? I have about 20 rounds of loose surplus (1940's, I think) that I have zero use for. Make it easy for me to give it to you, and its yours. I'm just West of Boston.

Ray,
I'll hold them for you. Let me know if you are ever up in this area, or I will give them to you at the next gun show.

Looks like a butchered Mle. 1886.
I have a crappy but unmolested Mle. 1886 R35 which was brought back from the raid on France. I bought it from the son
of the deceased vet when he wanted to turn it in for destruction as a (mandatory) safe would have been more expensive
than the rifle. The bayo which came with it is almost longer than the rifle itself.

I had pretty much the same set up, sling and all. It was given to my father by a ww2 vet and then offered to me when I first started shooting. Not knowing any better I passed on it because I heard ammo was so hard to find.
I have the 92/16 that my grandfather brought back. It is what started it all for me. Took me a while to find some ammo for it. Then I lucked into a case of the Hotchkiss ammo that was imported a few years ago. Now PPU us making brass and loaded ammo.
