From 1871 to the 1920s France implemented a number of schemes to introduced military education, shooting theory and practice, not only as a way to boost patriotism but also in a bid to prepare boys and teenagers for military service after leaving school. For this, various scaled down rifles were developped, ranging from non-functioning drill rifles to scaled down near copies of the service rifle of the time. In this vid we focus on a miniature Lebel-like rifle chambered in 6mm Bosquette.
We also take a closer look at the cartridge, discuss its origins and see what happened to it.

Switzerland’s most popular native-English-language guns & shooting channel! Probably. Maybe. I guess. A somewhat off-the-wall and tongue-in-cheek look at firearms, military history and shooting, and a jolly good tilt at the windmills of fuddlore to go with it. And the odd off-topic vid about Switzerland, or whatever happens to take our fancy. We normally launch “in-series” vids on a Friday (early launch on a Wednesday via Patreon and the FB page https://www.facebook.com/Blokeontherange/ ), out-of-series vids launch precisely… whenever.
