Not necessarily true, but I can't resist the snark:

Do you have any idea how hard it is to write five or ten paragraphs on a French rifle and make it at least moderately interesting?

Two words: Paint. Drying.

Unless it's the Chauchat, in which case filling five to ten paragraphs with invective, profanity and anecdotes of its complete and utter uselessness and positive suicidal danger to its users is easy.

But then, that's not really a rifle, is it?

Actually, the Lebel and MAS 36 both have some really interesting features, tho in the former case, it's more the cartridge that's interesting. And neither fills 5 paragraphs.

At least you didn't catalogue every ding in the stock from every time it had been dropped...

Me personally I would be kind of curious to find out when exactly they replaced all bayonet lugs with white flag mounts.

It was also one of the first semi-autos that craps where it eats!

Such a feature for a battle rifle ...

kristopher,

1) Wrong.

and

2) Not much of a factor with a tipping bolt that's open to the sky.

Please, "craps where it eats" sounds so my-fifth-post-on-glocktalk...

OK ... so the AG-42 beat it out. Note that I said "One of the ...".

I do shoot ARs ... I just like watching the AR crowd twitch when I say that.

Yea, juvenile of me, I know ...
