    Did you manage to free it up?

    Was it a flea market buy in Germany?

    I like the Lebel, my wife found a Lebel rifle in France on a field near Combles when waiting for me while I was going round a market. It looked like it had just been ploughed up but I straightened the barrel and still have it.

    Tony,

    Sorry for delay, no it is still solid, I might try to tease it with a hammer and some brass drifts in order not to damage it.

    Its not a Lebel its another one(St Elienne Mle 1907_15) but I am swapping it this month with a member here as it is his sort of thing, I need to drive to South Germany though!

    To my eternal shame my wife found my best piece at a flohmarkt while I was mincing around looking at post cards, they do have an eye for stuff if you train them well!

    It was a German house clearance item not flee market.

    Cheers
