This guide details several ingenious field gunsmithing modifications performed on Berthier rifles imported from Ethiopia, as presented by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons. These adaptations address the scarcity of original clips by creating internal clips, converting the rifle to a Mauser-like configuration, implementing external feed lips, and even adapting it to accept Lee-Enfield magazines. The video highlights the resourcefulness of Ethiopian gunsmiths in maintaining firearms in operational condition.
This video provides an initial test firing of a prototype .45 ACP Mauser conversion kit from Rhineland Arms. The firearm is in its early stages, with some kinks to work out, but has been zeroed and is running well. A Conus red dot sight has been installed for aiming.
