	Australian Information from Wikipedia
		In 1886 the French Army introduced the Lebel Model 1886 using smokeless powder, allowing smaller diameter rounds to be propelled at higher velocities, with accuracy out to 1,000 yards; most other military rifles became obsolete.
		Turkey purchased the Model 93, Brazil and Sweden the Model 94, and the similar Model 95 was sold to Mexico, Chile, Uruguay, China, Iran and the South African states of Transvaal and The Orange Free State (Boers).
		Model 1934 is virtually identical to the 1914 except the grip which was made of wood, fl hard rubber and after 1938 brown plastic.

	Karabiner 98k
		Rifles with original German stocks have "7.62" burned into the heel of the rifle stock for identification and to separate the re-chambered Kar98ks from the original 7.92 mm versions of the weapon then in service or held in reserve, though some 98k rifles were fitted with new, unnumbered beech stocks of recent manufacture.
		The Kar98k rifle was used by the reserve branches of the Israeli Defence Force well into the 1960s and 1970s and saw action in the hands of various Israeli Army support and line-of-communications troops during the 1967 Six-Day War and the 1973 Arab-Israeli War.
		As of 2005, the Mauser Kar98k rifles that were captured by the Soviets during World War II and refurbished during the late 1940s and early 1950s have appeared in large numbers on the military surplus rifle market.

	Lebel 1886 Resource Page - Lebel 1886
		The Lebel was the standard bolt action rifle of the French army from 1886 until 1916, it incorporated many advanced features for its day, except for its magazine.
		In service the Lebel proved somewhat fragile (to some sources) compared to some other rifles of the period, but was nevertheless a major advance on fl powder rifles and its features were widely copied by later designs.
		Rifling, which first made an appearance in the 18th century, is the process of making grooves in gun barrels for increased accuracy and range.

		Which left the pistol and the rifle, both key weapons on the battlefield, although the former was used less as an offensive weapon than the rifle, and were generally issued to officers rather than regular soldiery.
		The single-shot, bigger-bore rifle was the subject of extensive research and development in the latter portion of the nineteenth century, with the result that the major powers introduced new models that were small-bore, bolt-action weapons capable of firing multiple rounds from a spring-loaded clip inserted into a rifle magazine.
		The infantry aside, the rifle was a crucial element of the sniper's armoury: along with a human observer, that is.

	History of the Carcano rifle system
		France had adopted in 1886 the sensational Lebel rifle, the first one to use a "smallbore", high-velocity, jacketed bullet, with far longer useful range, and with a large magazine capacity.
		Late 1888: after the Austrian adoption of the M 1888 Mannlicher rifle, the Italian Ministry of War incaricates a commission of small arms, attached to the Central Infantery Shooting School in Parma, with the task of studying and proposing a new rifle.
		Another 45 models of foreign and Italian inventors are rejected; the commission concentrates now on the improvement of the models submitted by the state factories.

	Problems in Ballistics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Rifled muskets and handguns began to replace smoothbore military weapons in the mid-1850’s after a French Army officer, Capt. Claude Minie, developed a means to expand a bullet upon firing to cause it to fit the grooves of a rifled barrel.
		Breech-loading rifles firing self-contained cartridges appeared in the 1860’s, and some were used during the U.S. Civil War (e.g., the Spencer carbine and the Henry rifle).
		Of course, graduated sights had existed on both smoothbore and rifled muskets for many years, but the elevation marks on the sights had been determined by firing tests of these weapons with a specific projectile at a specific muzzle velocity, at a specific altitude, and with a specific set of weather conditions.

		Later, in 1893, the Lebel rifle's bolt was slightly modified leading to change the designation of the original Mle 1886 infantry rifle to: " Fusil Mle 1886-M93 ".
		Ironically it was this design lengthened to rifle length which came in as an adjunct to the Lebel rifle in 1915 (the Mle 1907-15 Berthier rifle).
		The Lebel remained the rifle of choice used by the French Foreign Legion,until the adoption of the MAS Mle 1936 rifle.

	THE FINNISH M1891 MOISIN-NAGANT RIFLE
		For example, Germany adopted the M1888 "Commission Rifle" in 7.9x57mm caliber, the USA adopted the M1892 Krag-Jorgensen in.30-40, and in 1891, Czarist Russia adopted the Mosin-Nagant "3-line" rifle to replace its stock of obsolete single-shot, fl powder Berdan rifles.
		In contrast with other bolt action military rifles, the bolt design is complex, the safety is not easy to apply or disengage, and the overall feel is somewhat awkward, at least until one gets used to it.
		The two easiest clues that a rifle is Finnish is the marking "SA" in a square box stamped on the breech end of the barrel.

		This rifle is a contemporary of the FAL and M14, both of which are not seen in frontline service with nations of influence anymore.
		The forerunner of the 7.5 mm semi-automatic rifle was the MAS 44.
		This rifle is still on limited issue to-day, although the current service rifle is the bull-pup type or ‘Clairon’ (Bugle) as the French call it because of its large sight guard/carrying handle which gives it that unique bugle shape.

	Karabiner 98k at AllExperts
		The Karabiner 98k (often abbreviated Kar98k or K98k) was a bolt-action rifle adopted as the standard infantry rifle in 1935 by the Wehrmacht, and was one of the final developments in the long line of Mauser military rifles.
		The Israeli Mauser Kar98k rifles that were converted have "7.62" engraved on the rifle receiver and burned into the heel of the rifle stock for identification and to separate the re-chambered Kar98ks from the original 7.92 mm versions of the weapon that were still held by the Israelis.
		The Kar98k rifle was used by the reserve branches of the Israeli Defence Force well into the 1960s and 1970s and saw action in the hands of Israeli Army reservists during the 1967 Six-Day War and the 1973 Arab-Israeli War.

	Model 1888 Commission or Gew 88 mauser rifle
		In 1886, the French Army unveiled the Modelle 1886 “Lebel” rifle.
		Now, the Lebel, which used a tubular magazine located under the barrel was not a particularly noteworthy design, but the power and flat trajectory of the new French 8mm round far outclassed the 11mm Reichspatrone fl powder round used in the contemporary German infantry rifle, the Mauser 71/84.
		Field trials for the new rifle were completed in November, 1888, and the GPK recommended that it be adopted immediately.

	8x50R Lebel (8mm Lebel)
		The 8mm Lebel (based on the earlier 11mm Gras necked down to accept.323" bullets) marks the beginning of the period of the small bore military cartridges designed for use with smokeless powder.
		The Lebel's huge rim and ungainly shape made it poorly suited for use in weapons with a detachable box magazine, so in 1929 the French introduced the 7.5x54 MAS, a modern rimless cartridge, for use in their machine guns.
		In 1934 they began adapting the Model 07/15 and M16 bolt action rifle for the newer cartridge (a slow and involved process), and in 1936 they saw the light and adopted the MAS 36 service rifle (another bizarre design!) in 7.5x54.

		If you are uncertain of the bore size of your rifle then you should always slug the bore to measure the exact specifications so as to select the proper sized bullet for your weapon.
		In 1886 France came out with quite possibly the most important development in small arms which was the first successful smokeless cartridge, the 8mm Lebel.
		They came out with their own 8mm rifle in 1888 known as the Commission rifle that was designed by a commission (hence its name).

		When that rifle (and it was a rifle initially) came along in 1894, it made a 6.0 earthquake impact on the shooting world.
		Preceded by two smokeless military cartridges, the 8mm Lebel of France (1886) and the.30-40 Krag of Norway (early 1890s), the.25-35 and.30-30 were the first sporting cartridges to boast smokeless powder.
		So the Model 94 was easy to carry in hand or on a horse, quick to the shoulder, and the.30-30 provided good results on big game when bullets were placed right.

		The quantity of Lebel in French arsenals at the end of WW1 was in excess of 1.000.000.
		The long berthier rifle model 07/15 was introduced in 1915, as a replacement for the numerous Lebel lost since the begining of WWI.
		The Lebel was recognized as stronger for grenade launching and more accurate for long range shooting (Scoped) than the 07/15 but when reloading, its tube magazine was at a disadvantage compared to the 5 shot Berthier.

		A small bore modification of the 11 mm Model 1885 Kropatcheck, it was one of the last repeaters to have a tubular magazine under the barrel.
		The introduction of this rifle and of smokeless powder in France came about as the result of a command from the French War Minister, General Boulanger, who launched the slogan 'new smokeless powder and revenge for Alsace-Lorraine!', at the same time commanding that an effective modern rifle be designed in the course of two months.
		This was the result, the Lebel Model 1886 repeater, which was to be used by the French Army in World War 1.

	Jarmann M1884 at AllExperts
		It is clear from the list that the Jarmann M1884 was significantly better than the other rifles tested, although in part this must be due to the higher muzzle velocity of the Jarmann.
		In comparison, the Gras rifle displayed a spread of 89 cm (35 in) and the Mauser rifle (presumably a Gewehr 71) had a spread of 80 cm (31.5 in), both at 600m (660 yd).
		During the 1920s and 1930s, a number of the surplus rifles was either sold to civilians or rebuilt into M28 harpoon guns.

		Along with the Model 1903 Springlfied Rifle, the Model 1897 Winchester Trench Shotgun (the use of which the Germans protested to as "barbaric"), and the colt Model 1911.45 cal service pistol, the Model 1914 Hotchkiss Machine Gun cal.
		The Model 1917 Machine Gun Cart was the last horse-drawn conveyance used by the U.S. Military, and therefore, represents the end of the era of the horse as a practical instrument of war.

		In sporterized versions, the Model 98 became the hunting rifle supreme and is still the bolt action by which all others are measured.
		Named after Col. Lebel, head of the commission that developed it, the rifle itself was actually just a clunky amalgam of several different firearms--a slab-sided, tubular-magazine bolt-action repeater that was nothing particularly special, even in 1886.
