Special Features

• The inertia-driven operating system uses the energy of each fired shell to cycle the action, resulting in a simpler mechanism with fewer moving parts than gas-operated alternatives and a self-cleaning operating cycle that stays reliable across a wide range of load pressures.
• Hard chrome lining on the chamber and bore resists corrosion from wet field conditions, salt air, and the fouling produced during extended shooting sessions, extending the service life of the barrel without requiring special cleaning compounds.
• Five stock shims are included from the factory for drop and cast adjustment, allowing the shooter to dial in a custom stock fit without aftermarket parts or a gunsmith visit.
• An oversized bolt release and charging handle allow reliable manual operation with heavy gloves on, a practical advantage during cold-weather waterfowl and upland hunts.
• The drilled and tapped receiver accepts standard scope bases and red dot mounts, making this shotgun immediately compatible with optics for turkey hunting or slug applications.
• An enlarged and beveled loading port speeds up shell loading with or without gloves and reduces the chance of fumbled shells during a fast reload in the field.
• Three interchangeable choke tubes covering improved cylinder, modified, and full constrictions ship with the shotgun, covering the full range of upland, waterfowl, and clay target applications in a single package.
• The TSA recoil management pad ships installed and contributes to a 14.38-inch length of pull out of the box, with additional spacers included to shorten the stock for younger or smaller-framed shooters.

Practical Benefits

• At 6.9 lbs. with a 28-inch barrel, the Affinity 3 carries light in the field and swings quickly on crossing targets, making it a natural fit for dove, pheasant, and waterfowl hunting where fast target acquisition matters.
• The 3-inch chamber and inertia system cycle reliably across a broad range of loads, from 1-ounce light target shells to 3-inch 1-3/8-ounce waterfowl loads, without requiring gas system adjustments between load types.
• The adjustable stock shim system means you can fit this shotgun to multiple family members or adjust it as a youth shooter grows without purchasing a new stock.
• The fiber-optic front sight pulls in light quickly in low-visibility conditions such as early morning waterfowl shoots or overcast upland days, giving you a clear sight picture before a crossing shot.
• The drilled and tapped receiver means you can add a red dot for turkey season and remove it for upland or waterfowl hunting without permanently altering the shotgun.
• If you are a hunter looking for a versatile, lightweight 12 gauge semi-auto that fits multiple hunting seasons, adjusts to different shooters, and holds up in demanding field conditions without a premium price tag, the Franchi Affinity 3 (42001) gives you a capable tool built to last across many seasons of hard use.

The Franchi Affinity 3 (42001) in 12 gauge is a dependable option for the all-around hunter and sport shooter who needs one reliable semi-automatic shotgun that covers upland, waterfowl, and clay target applications with equal confidence.
