I bought this rifle a while ago from a friend. Can you guys tell me anythign about it? I can't seem to find much on the net.

I know its an FN action, but the bbl has "something something Francotte" stamped on it. Does that mean anything?

I also found this one on the net and it looks very similar to mine but has the original wood stock.

Mine started life as a 9x57, but was reamed to 35 (9mm) Brown Whelen.

The bottom picture is the only one I have of it at this time sorry. Mine is the the bottom one with the fiberglass handle... The top picture is from the net, and the price tag was $4200????

August Francotte was/is (?) a Belgian firearms company known for their shotguns. I'm sure that what you have is a Francotte manufactured rifle using an FN action.
