Milsurps / Prohib Lebel 1886 Appreciation Post

Post image

Howdy Folks

The Texan is Back with yet another gun appreciation post. Today I was feeling a bit French, so how about we do a MilSurp today!

The one and only!

Lebel 1886

Probably not one you would find very often in Canada, but nonetheless it is very cool to look at, I mean this thing was revolutionary because it’s one of the first rifles to use Smokeless Powder.

Anyways, Enjoy!

This one doesn’t have one, some of the guns in GFL do not have a T-Doll assigned to them.

Most of the Commonwealth Era Firearms however, they have one. (By Commonwealth Era, I mean specifically when Canada was using most of the same British Weapons from 1867-1982, aka STENs, BRENs, Lee Enfields, Webleys, Hi-Powers, Sterlings, etc, I know Canada was already a country in 1867 DW)

Doesn’t have one in this one, on Monday I will be doing the HK-416 (Or MR223 since that is the Civilian Model that was available in Canada before being Prohibited)
