R.S.C. Mle 1917
The Ribeyrolles, Sutter and Chauchat (R.S.C.) Model 1917 Semi-automatic Rifle, also known as the Fusil Automatique (F.A.) Model 1917, was a variant of the Lebel 1886 produced during World War I to give the French soldier an edge on the battlefield. Although 85,000 rifles were produced during the war, it was criticized for being too heavy and too long, and it was accused of being too difficult to maintain in a trench enviroment. It also needed a special five-round clip. An improved version, the R.S.C. M1918, was shorter, and used the standard five-round clip of the Berthier rifle. This variant proved itself during the Rif War.
