What a beauty, congratulations. Is the ammo hard to find?

So its out there. That's good to know. Maybe I will be able to add one of those to my collection someday.

Check the barrel near the receiver (on top right usually) for a letter "N" stamp. If it's there, you can shoot any available modern 8mm Lebel ammunition. If it is not, I'd stick to handload with lower pressure Balle "D" ammunition.

That's good to know. Nothing worse than damaging a beautiful old relic like this one here. Thanks for the info.

the next time I travel for work I'll check the place I grabbed mine. They had 3 and 5 round clips as well as slings.

There's one in my family's collection. A carbine to be precise, hardest kicking rifle I've ever shot.
