Franchi 48 al

[Drew]

I have never seen one locally. I like a high rib/low drop gun. Guys that have them and like them, can you compare them to the fit of another make/model? My only option is buying online. They seem like an inexpensive gamble for a really light 12 gauge.

I was able to get one of these from Franchi several years back in order to field test it. I loved everything about the gun with one exception. Whenever I set the gun down (more than very very gently) on it's butt, like when crossing a fence or taking a break, the action would open and unless I pushed it closed manually it wouldn't shoot. Not a big deal unless you are expecting to kill a bird with that next shot. I sent it back with that recommendation. Perhaps they fixed the issue. Perhaps not.
