Chauchat Restoration.

I may be wrong but I remember reading about these awhile back and during WWI the troops hated this MG as the mag would get really gummed up and would not fire.

There were issues with bad chambering on the '06 ones too

Nice, and i really like the project, but i'd see if it is worth more to someone to build a post sample instead.

You would have to find a museum or a serious collector to rebuild a Turd like that.

You would get huge props for making it SA and having it run though.

Test fired single shot today. Cycles fine. Been working on these awful curved magazines.. on jig 3 for bending. Charging handle assembly is completed. Got lots of clean up left to beautify this ugly thing.
