Franchi ~ 48 AL 12 Black Magic ~ 12 gauge

Description:
The Franchi AL 48 is a long-recoil action semi-automatic shotgun that functions using only the bolt, barrel and spring. A completely mechanical system, it provides fast, positive response and years of reliability with little more than cleaning and routine maintenance. Known for reliability, the bolt of the long-recoil action is raised into a locking position in the barrel to form a steel-to-steel chamber lockup. On firing, the bolt and barrel move back simultaneously and mechanically separate after the shot leaves the muzzle. Introduced over 50 years ago in post-war Europe, Franchi was hailed as an innovator in shotgun technology. The AL 48 models are among the first to use a lightweight alloy receiver. An advancement of significant proportions, this new technology earned the company the "Compasso d'oro" or "Golden Compass" award for excellence. For added comfort and handling, the round-topped "slip pad" rubber recoil pad won't catch under your arm when shouldering the stock. Checkered pistol grip stock and checkering that wraps around the forend offer a sure hand grip. On the performance side, the stepped vent rib for quick eye-to-target pickup can be easily aligned looking over the high-back receiver. This Franchi AL 48 is in excellent condition with apparently very little use. The bluing is complete and the walnut stock has only some minor dings. The checkering is sharp without any compression. 12 Gauge
