My Remington made - model 1907-15 Berthier is ready for Range use "As Is".

It just would be fun to restore it to some semblance of how it left the Bridgeport factory.

The thinning of the stock wrist is ugly and frustrates salvaging the original wood by just splicing on a new forearm.

The removed bayonet lugs would only be noticed by a Collector.

The original front-sight blade appears to have been replaced by a taller homemade blade, possibly made from a Coin. (This will be better for Range work than original military blade).

One of my photos contrasts the altered Remington muzzle area with a Chatellerault made Berthier rifle. The French rifle still has its bayonet lugs and an interesting front sight. The sight block has a "V" instead of a blade. It can be filled with Radium paste for low light shooting. (Got any)?
