Thys 470 Boxlock

I was up at Champlin's last week and noticed George has a very nice Thys 470 for sale. He doesn't have it up on his site yet and won't until after DSC and SCI. Asking price was the high 19's.

It weighed 10lbs for you weight fanatics

I bet it sells at one of the shows...

577NitroExpress
Double Rifle Shooters Society
Francotte .470 Nitro Express

If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming...

Not that the Thys isn't a load, but from what I have seen they really don't have a very good scale, if any, for weighing the guns.

I drove like a maniac to get to the local Cabelas once when I saw on their site a 9 lb. 470 double rifle of some make that I now don't remember. I couldn't believe it existed. I took my own electronic scale.

Well, it actually weighed 11.2 lbs. as I recollect. Back to reality.
