Mle 1892 “Lebel Revolver” (8mm French Ordinance) History & Shooting Demo

Taking a look at another one I’ve been trying to acquire for a while, the Modèle 1892 French Ordinance Revolver! Also (inaccurately) known as the Lebel Revolver.

Le terme Lebel vient du fait que le pas des rayures du canon était identique à ceux des fusils 8 mm Lebel , donc réalisé sur les mêmes machines pour des raisons économique .

Thank you kindly sir!

What a great find! I would love to add one of these to my collection someday; but having to hunt down some 8mm French Ordinance sounds like a nightmare.

[@GreatNorthwestWeaponry]

It definitely isn’t the easiest round to find! Fiocchi releases some every so often but there isn’t really a reliable timeline to it. Thanks for watching!

Sorry it is civil modèle no militaire modèle . It is written 'manufacture ' on the militaria modèle . ( i'm french)

Thanks for the tip! And I apologize for my mangling of your language I’m terrible at pronouncing French words… Thanks for watching!

[@51WCDodge]

Thank you. I was wondering how you knew.

Morning Thomas. Have you seen Mae & Othias' vid? He mentions the numbered parts. The revolver seems to have the same place in French folklore as the Webley in British.

[@GreatNorthwestWeaponry]

Indeed I have! They do excellent work, wish I had access to even half the guns they do
