Introduced in 2012, Franchi has been hard at work reinventing, or at least revitalizing, the brand. The Affinity is the recoil actioned autoloading replacement for the I-12 of years past.   The control layout of these guns will be familiar to Benelli M2 fans, as it is identical. My understanding is that manufacture and assembly of the Franchi Affinity is done at the Benelli Urbino facility. The Franchi Affinity action differs from the Benelli recoil (inertia) action in one basic aspect: the mainspring is located under the forearm, as opposed to inside the buttstock. The triggers of both guns released at 4-1/2 pounds, better than average for an out of the box autoloader.  The 20 gauge Affinity comes in any barrel length you want, as long as it is 26 inch. That makes some sense, as one of the ways to reduce street price on a shotgun model is to limit the number of configurations available.   After assembly, I gave the actions three drops of M-Pro 7 gun oil and cycled them briskly a couple of dozen times. The Affinity comes with what Franchi feels is an industry-leading seven year warranty. Common Specifications: Barrel Length: 26" Magazine Capacity: 4+1 Choke Tube: IC Length of Pull: 14.25" Drop at Heel: Adjustable 2-2.5" Drop at Comb: 1.5" Front Sight: Fiber optic red-bar front sightM Measured trigger pull: 4.5 lbs.  Overall length: 47-1/4 inches (26" barrel) The minimum recommended load for proper functioning is 7/8 ounce of shot at 1275 fps. I have no idea where Franchi cooked up the oddball 1275 fps 7/8 oz. 20 gauge load minimum: I'm not sure it even exists. Your standard 20 gauge 7/8 oz. target load, like a Federal Gold Medal, is a 1200 fps load and the test Franchi cycles them perfectly.  The weight 5.6 pounds for the 20 gauge.  Layaway 1/3 down 90 days Shipping:  $55, fully insured $90 Payment: Personal Check, Money Order, Cert.
