Jack,
I gotta agree with you about the Lebel. I never understood the French Military thinking about NO safety on their issue rifles when every other nation incorporated a safety. I have asked before, hopefully from a French GI, to explain to me how they carried their rifles: Chamber empty or chamber loaded and muzzles up? If chamber empty, cranking the bolt would alert the invading Huns to draw down on the French soldier.
