This was specifically for the French 1871 military trials, which specifically required a solid frame. The Galand was chambered for 12mm Galand (with its distinctive very thick rim), held 6 rounds, operated in either single or double action, required no tools to disassemble, and had very simple but durable lockwork. The gun was very good, and was a very tight competitor for the other trials finalist, the Chamelot-Delvigne. Ultimately, it lost out because it was the more expensive of the two options.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Model 1873 Chamelot-Delvigne that won the French trials, I suggest the C&#038;Rsenal video on that model:<br \/>\n   \u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9mCVxWXNb5Y\" target=\"_blank\">History of WWI Primer 061: French and Ital&#8230;<\/a><br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>All the best firearms history channels streaming to all major devices!
