    High velo in Franchi 48 al

    O ive shot PS. Never felt them out of the Affinity I had but I remember shooting straight up with a light russian o/u and I felt every fps. Mostly curious if todays hot loads are what caused so many 48 al grips to crack or if its just guys not having the friction rings set right. Sometimes I...

    High velo in Franchi 48 al

    Thats kind of the way i was leaning. I bought a few boxes of 1250-1330 fps rounds. This is a 12 in fixed mod. I barely felt the 1200 fps loads on light setting in a tshirt tho. Im sure ill feel something from this gun if i mount it wrong. May end up putting a really thin recoil pad on that...

    High velo in Franchi 48 al

    Recently purchased a 1973 Franchi 48. No recoil pad. Shot a box of target loads on light setting and no problem with recoil at all. I have about 6 boxes of prairie storm. Im not, to my knowledge, recoil sensitive while hunting. I have switched to the heavy setting and plan to pattern some...

    Hunting silently and way out of gun range

    Depends what youre hunting. In Iowa we hunt 95 percent private ground that hardly gets hunted. Even the public is hit rather lightly. We are loud the whole time catching up on life and birds hold fine. Out in SD, where every piece of public ground is hunted 13 times a day 6 days a week, i...

    South dakota (and north) roadside survey.

    From what ive heard, central part is amazing this year for numbers. I think it’s gonna depend on rain totals everywhere had around June 20-22. Some areas were insanely high, well over a foot.

    Franchi 48 al

    Maybe thats not the correct term. The ring of spring steel that goes around the bronze friction ring. I think its purpose is to provide compression to the friction ring. NOT the beveled steel governor ring the friction ring kinda sits inside of.

    Franchi 48 al

    Are you guys putting that retainer spring over the bronze friction ring BEFORE putting it onto the mag tube? Or do you open it up with a screwdriver and slide it over once its already on the tube? It was a bear to get off that way and it made me wonder if that bronze ring would get marred up...

    Franchi 48 al

    Unless youre aware of them not updating their website, they are showing out of stock for everything. Same as every other place I found a parts listing online. Can find 20 and 28 gauge parts, but 12 is no where that I can find.

    Franchi 48 al

    Finally shot this thing and only missed one clay out of 25. Recoil was fine, even with no recoil pad. Panicked when I took it apart, someone had put the governor ring below the spring. Took me a bit to find it. Started looking online for spare parts and realized they arent available in 12...

    Used USA made Danner boots

    I rolled the dice and ordered these on ebay. These are all leather, USA made, insulated and Gore Tex lined. They are in great shape, I was not deceived by the ebay seller at all. Apparently, the older USA Danners are a half or full size behind today’s Pronghorns, which fit me like a glove in...
