This is the ultimate waterfowler's duck gun. In this video I go over why I use the Franchi Affinity and also how to strip it down then put it back together. If you are on the fence on your next duck gun, this is the way to go. I have found that the Affinity is nothing shy of a super black eagle, only difference is you are not paying for the BIG B. This is my first video so please, leave me a comment with what you thought of the content. Like, comment, and subscribe for more to come videos. THANKS

I have the previous generation, the Franchi Affinity. I absolutely love it. I've put everything through it from light trap loads to heavy duck and turkey loads and it eats everything flawlessly. I probably have about 5,000 rounds through it at this point and it's still my go to gun.

Only slightly marred the walnut in side of the forearm not noticeable. Mine is the 30" so 521/2 " long kind of ruff on it im my low ceiling bacement. Any way great job make some more. CD

TheSouthernsurvivor Hey man, I haven’t particularly been on a “dove hunt” with this gun yet but I have shot dove in the duck blind with it while they’ve been in season. As for the choke set up, I think I’d personally bump it down to a modified just bc I’m not the sharpest shooter out there. I can assure you though, if you make contact with that long range extra full on a dove, it’s game over. I just checked out your channel and looks like you’re a fellow Mississippian.

cole merrill Hey cole yes this is a known “issue” with the 20 gauge. When I was doing research on the 12 gauge I can remember reading a lot of comments on the 20 gauge being hard to load. From what I have read, it will get easier as more shells are shot through it. The 12 gauge was a little stiff at first as well but it has loosened up for me.

The compact option is what really sold us as he’s only 13. It’s a awesome gun minus this major issue that I think could easily be addressed by franchi. Thanks again!

cole merrill I know that must be frustrating. I would take a weekend and go shoot a lot of cheap lead shot through it or just sit in your garage and load/unload it. I have heard that if you remove the carrier latch and barely bend it slightly that it also help with the issue. Once it gets broke in, it will get even better. Good luck!

@undercoveroverwater8413
@undercoveroverwater8413 4 жыл бұрын
Case Hutchinson Hey Case, that is the Carlson Cremator Long Range(LR). Our Franchi Guns run all Benelli Mobil Choke Tubes. Just check the package of whatever choke you are looking at and see if it says it’s compatible with Benelli Mobil. Like I said in the video, this gun is very identical to a Benelli. I’m a big waterfowler so that particular choke is what I prefer. It patterns straight and true. I got it so I could reach out a little further since I have the 26” barrel. It’s the extended version as well. I’d also like to add that the long range is the extended Full choke. A helpful tip: you can shoot lead through a full choke that is designed for steel but you cannot shoot steel through a full choke that is designed for lead. Steel will not give much while lead has a little bit of play. It’s a softer metal. There will be info about this on any choke tube you buy though.

@@robinsquires5621 it’s holding up relatively well. The only wear marks it shows is on the stock under the trigger assembly from where I lay it across the top of my metal pit blind. I keep it in a bag to and from hunting and on the 4wheeler/boat but honestly one of the main reasons I went to a synthetic stock is so I wouldn’t feel as bad if I got scratches on it. I used to hunt with a Woodstock browning gold and I couldn’t even enjoy hunting with it because I was worried about scratching it up. The affinity is durable, yet I’m not going to feel sick to my stomach if it falls over and gets a scratch.
