Did you work the action? sometimes things like the bolt head or extractor are missing. But I can swap bolts with my M-16 if needed. If it has a handguard, I THINK that's one of the 1916 mods, but these have been rebuilt and re-rebuilt lots of times. Actually, during WW1 many of them did get dropped, in places like Verdun, because the one carrying it got blown to bits in artillery barrages. Then afterward, details searched the battlefield for whatever weapons(or parts of weapons) they could find and repair.
Anyway, I can swing $200, so if it's still there, grab it and I'll see you next week at the first shoot.
Have to come up with a different outfit to go with a carbine, though. Foreign Legion were all infantry and carried Lebels. I have seen pictures of native mounted troops in Algeria, but not sure what the date of the picture was. It might have been closer to WW1, since typically native troops got modern weapons well after everyone else. So they were probably carrying Gras carbines up to 1900 or later.
