Re: Marcel Thys & Sons

I have had a half a dozen over the years including 3 I had built and a few friends have had them build rifles for them.

I think they are good rifles. Usually light for caliber but a pleasure to carry and shoot. Well balanced and accurate as any other Belgium rifle.

Some of the best engraving in the world from some of the best of the Belgium Engravers.

All the fitting was hand filed with smoke and some really fine in letting for the stocks.

For years Marcel was the head instructor at the gunsmithing school in Liege and most of the very best of his students worked for them for a time.

One thing most people don't realize is they built more shotguns than rifles.
