This video examines an experimental Gras-Vetterli repeating rifle from the late 19th century, a period when France explored numerous repeating rifle designs. The rifle features a Kropatschek style lifter and tube magazine, combined with a side loading gate similar to the Swiss Vetterli. While the bolt is of the Gras type, the receiver is newly manufactured and not a repurposed Gras receiver. The rifle is marked 'Henry,' hinting at a potential but uncertain connection to New Haven Arms or Winchester.
