It has everything you want in an upland gun and is a delight to carry over hill and dale at an amazing 5lbs. You could not find a better early season grouse gun! For those of you that recognize what you are looking at in this fine Francotte, don’t let this one get away. Choked SK/IC with 26” barrels, this gun is lightning fast for the regal upland bird…the ruffed grouse and his pal the woodcock. This gun is in excellent factory original condition with 60% fading case color, 99% barrel blue, mirror bores, fine oil finish wood, and a long 14 ¾” LOP. You will not likely see another for decades to come. guns made anywhere in the world will weigh well over 6 1/2lbs., so this is a true ULTRA-LIGHT 12 BORE, A VERY RARE FIND.
when the 12 does the job better and can be bought at bargain prices compared to 20ga.
And why would you want to carry a 6 1/2lb. load is far superior for your upland needs. Do the research and you will find the 12ga. because it produces a much shorter shot string allowing it to put a higher number of pellets on a crossing target than the same load in a 20 ga. will be much more deadly with a 1 ounce load than a 20ga. Why an ultra-light 12ga you ask? Because of its larger bore diameter, a 2 ½” 12ga. field gun weighing less than a 20ga? This Francotte, sn87437 imported in 1932 by Von Longerke & Detmold New York, is a rare gun with 2 5/8” chambers and 26” SK/IM chokes, nicely stocked with European walnut, perfect checkering, 65% coverage engraving, strong well timed ejectors… just a great looking gun. They are nicely built side by sides with a solid reputation for graceful looks and handling characteristics as well as rock solid dependability. We see the Model 25E often enough in 12ga., 16ga., and 20ga. Search long and hard, you will not find another Auguste Francotte like this one. Still making fine shotguns today with price tags starting at $18,000, Francotte is a brand recognized and used by heads of state, business tycoons, and in some cases, the fortunate “Average Joe”. Auguste Francotte is world famous as a high-quality firearms maker from the gun making center of Leige, Belgium dating back as far as 1805.
