It was at the beginning of the 19th century, in 1805, when the Auguste Francotte gun factory was founded. Today, Auguste Francotte is one of the most respected names in good quality guns, known all over the world.

The origins of the Francotte guns are closely linked with the Armory of Liege, which has a high reputation. After having manufactured numerous military guns, Auguste Francotte turned towards the making of high quality sporting guns. As a result the company has retained the traditional methods of manufacture and a highly skilled labor-force. The workmen in the armory, who have spent a long time making guns, or rifles at the Francotte factory have a great experience and deep knowledge of arms, acquired from their youth. After having studied at the College of Armory in Liege, they go on to become perfectionists after several years working in our workshop.

With a gun which has been manufactured so meticulously, you should not loose sight of the fact that over several years of use, regular servicing is advisable so that you can maintain the gun's technical qualities and value.
