Franchi Semi-Automatic 12ga. Shotgun **Price Drop**
Name: Tim
Location: Roanoke, VA
Means of contact: 540-915-9 four 6 two
Price: $325
Description: I have a Franchi (Division of Benelli firearms) 48AL, 12ga, semi-automatic shotgun that I'm looking to sell, as I'm looking to get into a tactical shotgun instead. It's a 26in. barrel, 2 3/4" chamber, and is the "Hunter" model which in my searches was one of the highest models they made these in. The receiver is engraved with a duck hunting scene and the finish still looks great. The action and everything works great, it currently has a plug in it for 2+1 loading, but it can be removed for 4+1. Another interesting feature is the ability to adjust the recoil setting for light or heavy loads, as the auto-loading capability is recoil operated. Only blemish in it is the bottom of the stock is chipped at the very end, everything else looks great. It really is a nice piece and I'd love to keep it for a skeet/hunting gun, but I don't get much time to do it so I'm going to get something more practical. I can text pictures, and I will try to load some up on here the first chance I get.
One other thing about this shotgun too is that it's insanely light for semi-auto. There is an ultralite version that weighs just 2oz less than this one.

Re: Franchi Semi-Automatic 12ga. Shotgun
it doesn't have a removable choke, no. I believe they were a built-in cylinder choke on the Hunter model. Not sure if you're still supposed to be able to fire slugs out of any choke or not but I know people do on these with no problem, so if that tells you anything...

BTW - FRANCHI DOES NOT MAKE BENELLI - BERETTA DOES FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS ANYWAY - ALOT OF THESE FRANCHIS ARE FAKES ALSO - SOME REALLY GOOD CLOSE PICS WOULD HELP YOU ALOT-
