Lebel Model 1886 - 8x50mmR Lebel

The Lebel Model 1886 (Lebel Mle 1886), or known officially as 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 had a 8+2-round capacity and also mounted a spike bayonet. It was manufactured beginning in 1887 until May 1920. The total number of Lebel rifles manufactured at 2,880,000 units.

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.
