*DIMINUTIVE FRANCOTTE BOXLOCK EJECTOR GAME GUN. SN 84801. Cal. .410. 28″ Dovetailed steel bbls with medium, concave, matted rib, and square crossbolt extension, are engraved “Aug. Francotte Bte.” and “A Liege” on tops. Bbl flats are stamped with Belgian nitro proofs for 2-1/2″ chambers, and 2003 London reproofs for 3″ chambers. Choke information is stamped on bottoms of bbls, with SN on right. Tiny boxlock action features non-automatic safety (S inlaid in gold), square crossbolt third fastener, and double triggers. Action is engraved with Belgian style thin open scroll flanking well done semi-relief rose bouquets on sides of action, fences, and floorplate. Blued trigger guard has scroll engraving on bow, with SN at grip. Lightly streaked European walnut straight grip buttstock measures 14-9/16″ over black leather covered pad, and features 20 LPI point pattern checkering with mullered borders. Matching long splinter ejector forend has Anson release. Bore diameter at muzzles: left-.410, right -.410. Bore restrictions: Choke is visible. Wall thickness: left -.041, right -.038. Drop at heel: 2-3/16″, drop at comb: 1-7/16″. Weight: 4 lbs. 3.5 oz. LOP 14-9/16″. CONDITION: Excellent, as refinished. Bbls retain nearly all of a London quality re-black, sharp edges slightly rounded and engraving washed. Action is cleaned to coin finish. Floorplate, trigger guard and top lever re-blued, and retain nearly all of that blue, engraving softened. Stock retains nearly all of an oil finish, grain slightly open, checkering re-cut. Leather covered pad is new, and well done. Bores are bright and shiny, mostly excellent, except for some fairly deep pits near breech end of left bbl. Action is tight. Bbls are on face. Ejectors are slightly out of time. Stock is slightly loose on action. This light, long barreled .410, should be a delight in the field. 4-45063 MGM218 (4,000-6,000)
