3. BAR 1918 - in WW2 configuration.

The one third from the bottom looks like it would make a good deer rifle.Comment

Pitfighter is probably the owner or knows the owner of them.....
I always thought those half moon Chauchats were 30-06 - because the 8mm Lebel version was supposedly more reliable than the 30-06 - and the 30-06 version had the magazines with the big open sides - but the magazine truth is reversed. The 30-06 version has a more standard looking magazine. I guess the re-engineering to 30-06 was a big cause of the reliability problems. But Ian shows in this video - that the 30-06 Chauchat - at least his - is not just an awkward club.

If you like LMGs, this is a fantastic video, worth the 40 min. Ian (Forgotten Weapons), Othias and Mae (C&Rsenal) do a shooting competition/comparison of a bunch of LMGs including both versions of the Chauchat.
