I have one of them(only the metal part) found in Gallipoli. I need the answer too. French Berthier rifle model 1916, either carbine or rifle (rifle is about 51" or so). Based on the Berthier 1907 rifle or 1892 carbine (on which the 1907 was based), but with a 5-round magazine (although those markings may appear on the receiver of a rifle/carbine with a 3-round magazine depending on when it was assembled. Available parts were used.) Berthier 1907 was, in turn, based on the Berthier 1892 carbine. Produced to back-fill French troops during WWI after the Lebel Rifles fell into short supply due to German advances and the Berthier 1907/15 was found to be lacking due to its 3-round magazine. Shoots 8mm Lebel. As you can probably tell by now, the history is somewhat complicated. It continues to be so as the rifles were further modified and continued to serve into WWII.
8mm Lebel
That would PROBABLY be the first rifle to use a smokeless powder cartridge- the French 8mm Lebel.

No. There are cartridges close in caliber... the 8mm Lebel rifle cartridge has a .327 caliber projectile, while the 8x56R Mannlicher and 8x59 Breda have a .329 caliber projectile.
