8MM Lebel?

[nick1213]

Hi all-
Recently picked up an old Berthier rifle in 8MM Lebel and I'm anxious to shoot it. Anybody know of anybody who has any 8mm lebel in Massachusetts, or an some other way to get it in state. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Nick

There's still a bin of older surplus at Ron's (East Lyme, CT).
Guessing about 250 rounds or more. At one time I looked at the head stamp, but I don't recall the date now. He said $50, but that was some time ago.

Another possibility, but much further down state... Hansen's Guns.
I believe he has a Berthier rifle on the rack, but I don't recall any ammo. Worth a call, I suppose.
He does (or did) have a crate of beautiful 8x50R Czech ammo, about 1935 vintage, but that's not what to feed your Lebel.
