Franchi Affinity 3 20ga

[rmarshall]

I have beautiful little Franchi affinity 3, 20 gauge, 26” barrel. It’s the walnut version. Comes with the factory chokes, and a Carlsons extended waterfowl set, CR, MR and LR tubes. It’s all but new, 3 bullets fired through one choke. Also a composite forearm. This gun is in great condition. Works like a champ.
$860 shipped for the gun the choke set and forearm.

I’m trying g to find a 16 ga, preferably a A5 sweet sixteen modern version.

There are about 1600 of them listed on Gunbroker. Quite a few of the originals from Belgium and a lot of new ones. Good luck, I’d say it’s a buyers market right now.

I’ve seen that, I keep looking for a cheaper one than GB has listed, good luck I know!

I’ll never buy anything off gun broker that starts with a high blue book value and then asks to bid from there. I did see a couple that were true auctions at about 800.00 I would be surprised if you can do better but I certainly hope you do.

So I’ll offer this. Contact Lock Stock and Barrel in Cody Wyoming. They will market your shotgun, cover shipping etc. I think on a single gun they get 25% commission but you’ll be done with it. You’ll make 6 to 700. Just a thought.
I just sold 125 guns from my brother in laws estate through them. While most of the guns were very desirable some were horrible, things of very little value. Even those brought over 100.00. All but a couple sold for well over blue book, all sold better than duplicates offered at the same time from individuals.

I was so pleased with Lock Stock and Barrel, they sent a crew out, inventoried every gun got them ready to ship, all the holsters, cleaning kits, reloading equipment and ammunition and took it to their shop in Cody. Everything was professionally photographed and described by a professional writer and then marketed on gun broker. No additional charge to us to have them come out and spend two long cold days in the shop getting everything ready.
The whole lot brought well over 100,000 K.
I’ve re-written my will to include the contact information for LSB. I included a list of close folks who may want one of my guns. They get 24 hours to let Catherine know which one. The rest get sold she gets the cash to go on a cruise or whatever.

Does this model have an adjustable butt so it can be shortened for a youth? I have a daughter that could use it but she is built small. I’ve been considering the affinity compact version foe her . . . ?

 

[rmarshall]

This does not but extra stocks are available and it’s wood so it could be cut to length. Sorry

I was curious, so did a little digging, dont take this as gospal but; you can replace the current recoil pad to the small and drop the LOP from 14 3/8 down to 14, or you can replace the but with the syn compact you mentioned and be able to adjust from 12 3/8 to 13 3/8, and it also looks like all the it looks like you should be able put the 20ga Catalyst butt on this action and keep it all wood, it has a shorter LOP(13 7/8 vs 14 3/8), beyond that I think you can replace the recoil pad with the small size and get down to 13 1/2 LOP.
you should buy it before I talk myself into it
