French Berthier single shot en-bloc adapter / sled / clip

Description

This is a single shot adapter for the
8x50mmR Lebel
Berthier rifle.  It will allow to properly chamber the cartridge without risking breaking the extractor claw.
The Berthier rifle uses a controlled feed mechanism where the bolt picks up a cartridge and it moves upwards into the extractor claw on the face of the bolt.  Forcing the bolt over the cartridge will result in a broken extractor.
This loading block fits right in the internal magazine just like a complete loaded en-bloc charger with 3 or 5 cartridges. It will lock in by the en-bloc clip latch when placed in so it will not fly out when being used and once you are done using it you then depress the en-bloc release button and it will come right out. The block fits inside the internal magazine very nicely but may be a little loose or snug.  Once inserted just
put the round on the bed of the adapter and push the bolt forward as you would do with any single shot rifle.
As mentioned, the block allow a controlled feed mechanism where the bolt picks up a cartridge, moves upwards into the extractor claw on the face of the bolt as it is chambering when closing the bolt and just like it does when using a 3 or 5 shot en-bloc so that you not break the extractor.
