This video examines two variants of the French RSC 1917 semi-automatic service rifle, also known as the FSA1917. It highlights the RSC 1917's distinction as the only true semi-automatic rifle to see significant frontline infantry use in World War I. The video focuses on two specific 1917 rifles, one in its original configuration and the other updated to the 1918 standard with modifications to the bolt handle/disassembly and bolt holdopen mechanism, which improve field stripping. The presenter invites viewers to share any details they know about these specific modifications and their implementation timeline.
