The Lebel Model 1886 (Lebel Mle 1886), or known officially as the Fusil Modèle 1886, is a French 8mm bolt action rifle which has the distinction of being the first military rifle designed to use smokeless powder cartridges. It incorporated some of the latest advances in rifle design at the time. A bolt head with two opposed front locking lugs that locked into the receiver and cammed surface on the rear of the receiver bridge providing positive extraction. The Lebel rifle was adopted in April 1887 and remained in service in the French Army until World War II, although its tube magazine had long become an obsolete feature. In 1893, the slightly improved Fusil Modèle 1886-M93 was introduced and nearly all earlier rifles were upgraded to the new standard. The Lebel Model 1886 rifle has an 8+2-round capacity and could also mount a spike bayonet. It was manufactured beginning in 1887 until May 1920. 2,880,000 Lebel rifles were manufactured in total.
Due to the lack of unconverted examples and the fact that the M93 version is visually indistinguishable, most if not all film and television appearances of the Lebel rifle are the 1886-M93 version.
The Model 1886/M93/M27 was designed after WWI to chamber the more useful and modern 7.5x54mm cartridge. The rifle was made by shortening the 1886 Lebel, adding a Mauser-type staggered five-round box magazine and a new 900 meter rear sight. The M27 Lebel proved to be a rather expensive and time-consuming conversion and was never formally approved for adoption, consequently only 1100 were ever produced. The Berthier Mle 1907-15 M34 would prove to be a more successful conversion.
