I brought a Francott from Niles at Safari Outfitters a while ago. After 6-8 months, the top lever spring broke. I brought the gun back to Niles and asked him to send it out for repair. Also, a good cleaning, while its apart. When I picked up the gun, it was no charge. Even the cleaning. I've brought several guns from Niles since then. The gentleman, and his wife Kim, run a top shelf operation. I now, also rely on Niles for all my gunsmith work. He knows exactly who to send it to for the best repair, given the individual gun and ciecumstance.
