Thread: franchi 48 AL

hey all does anyone have any information on the 12 gauge franchi 48 AL from the early 1970s such as can it run steel shot, load sizes or any other useful information?
thanks

Hey mate, did you ever find any info on the AL? I'm trying to get one cycling at the moment but having a mare

Can't help specifically but I di have a browning A5 and a pretty handy manual for them
What is it doing?

This is prob a little late @matthewhall2912 but I got this response from the very helpful team at Gunworks who contacted the rep for me:

This is what the wholesaler sent back to me:

This model gun has a fixed choke, so you will have to ensure that it is at least *** Modified if steel shot is to go through it. To check, later models will show the constriction on the right side of the barrel, while older ones will have stars on the underside of the barrel. You will want to see a minimum of three stars.

@EamonF, you may have already tried this, but after looking at a lot of shit instructional vids on YouTube, this was the most helpful one - full credit to the kid! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vhybLT...3s&pp=2AEDkAIB Watch from about 3 mins where he explains the governor ring light or heavy loads. Try switching that round and see if it makes any difference to cycling.
