Title: Damage to Berthier - opinions welcome
Post by butlersrangers on Jan 9^th, 2017 at 5:47am

These pictures were posted on another Forum. A novice collector is having a problem with splitting 8mm Lebel brass. He is firing new, good quality Prvi ammo, in a Turkish (Berthier) Forestry carbine.

Any theories on what damaged this arm. The bolt-face is scary and looks welded back together!
