Let's start a new topic. Is there anybody out there who might share some information on the Belgian Clément-Neumann rifle? It was Europe's answer to the Winchester selfloader model 1910...

One of my favorite topics, but also one I know woefully little about. I got to see one though, about a month ago, at the J. M. Davis gun museum, in Claremore, Oklahoma. It did not have a magazine. I want one bad. Here is an article the author said I could share with my friends. I hope (1) that someone can read French, and (2) that they can see it clearly in spite of the sorry quality.

In reality, the rear part of the receiver on the Clement Neumann is much more square looking than in the pictures in the 1911 Alfa catalogues. I think mainly it is the charging handle on the Clement Neumann that is more square shaped and that gives the whole rear of the receiver a much more squared look.

Boxer 2000, Thank you for the excellent pictures of the Clement Neumann! Danke! Does that firearm belong to you? I've always wondered how well the charging handle at the back of the receiver works. Is it easy or difficult to operate the Clement Neumann's charging handle? The barrel looks very much longer than the 20 inch barrel of the Winchester. How do they compare in weight? My 401 is, surprisingly, very pleasant to shoot. Have you fired the C-N? All the photos you have provided are all excellent. Rare and wonderful guns and ammo. Regards, Walt

You can find some more information, pictures and books about the Clement-Neumann Carbine in the German gun magazine called DWJ (means Deutsches Waffen-Journal) 08/09 this month.

I would dearly like to have a copy of that article on the Clement Neumann. Is it a very good article?

Hello,
I wonder how many of these have been made? The article is DWJ it says not over 1000 made but did they even start from number 1.
I have one #625 and I have seen identical #641 for sale somewhere.
My rifle does not bear any manufacturers markings just belgian proof marks. Both are just like the rifle in that french article.
I have also belgian made .22 that is like Winchester 1903.

For what it's worth, there's one for sale here (and it's not mine)

Jasafn, Thank you for generously sharing pictures of that very rare Clement Neumann rifle! Does the Clement Neumann use the same magazine as the Winchester Model 1910 or is the magazine unique to the Clement Neumann?

The magazine for Clement-Neumann is unique. BTW I just compered them other day as I have one extra Winchester 1910 magazine that I will sell soon in Gunbroker.
