Gary,
That protrusion is the wedge that was used to regulate the barrels.They are usually cut off and finished flush,but I had one left long in case I have to have it re-regulated. Your rifle was likely regulated with European ammo and you may have to try different loads.This is where handloading comes in handy.I would start with 180 gr bullets.If they shoot wide,they need a little less speed;if they cross, they need a little more speed.

OK, Gary, NOW I'm jealous! That is one gorgeous rifle! Condition seems great. What're you wiling to trade for? Incidentally, nice Sauer shotgun--guess you stole it too from an old man.....

I just felt sorry for the guy with the Sauer....he obviously needed to get rid of a gun so he could acquire another damascus hammer gun made during the reign of Queen Victoria. Trade the Francotte? Hell, I haven't shot anything with it yet....it has to go to Whittington next year and needs to shoot a deer and some hogs. It was made to shoot, not sit in the darkness of a collector's vault.

Lovely gun. Probably not much eye-relief with that old scope. Don't get a black eye shooting it.

Neat gun I'd like to know what they go for. I'd like a 30 .06 or .308 sxs

B. Nickel scopes are excellent (I own a couple). It doesn't seem to be mounted too far back (as some European scopes can be) so I don't see any problem there. A nice and practical outfit!
With kind regards,
Jani
