The Lebel R35 carbine was a French military conversion of obsolete Lebel 1886 rifles in the 1930s. It featured a shortened 17.7-inch barrel, a 3-round tube magazine, and updated Berthier-style sights. Approximately 45,000 were delivered before the 1940 armistice, intended for second-line troops like artillery and engineers. Standard bayonets were also shortened to match the carbine's profile.
