Just thought some of you folks might like to see what wandered into my shop the other day.
What's that you say? You say that you can't see anything much that's so unusual about this little action? Well, how about these other views?
This is the lowest-numbered commercial Francotte Cadet I've ever seen. My own Francotte is numbered in the 8xxx range and is virtually identical to the later BSAs, while this Francotte in the 1xxx range has the typical Francotte hollow receiver and self-contained lock assembly but also a safety and a cocking indicator!
This little action will become a custom rifle in due time, and I'm seeking other Francotte Cadet actions for the same purpose.
So, whaddayagot?
Regards, Joe
