I have an older mod that won't cycle. Had it to three gunsmiths, no one know why everything is excellenat shpe.

Benneli bought out Franchi and does not import the 12 ga! only the small gauges!

Anyone know of a Franchi c Gunsmith?

I'm going to offer some info and you can decide if it might be applicable. Years ago, I had a Franchi, 12 gauge, don't remember the model, on the end of the magazine tube it had a friction ring that you flipped over depending on whether you were shooting light or heavy loads. If it was set on heavy, it would not cycle correctly with light loads.

Thanks - we've tried that but it seems there may be apart missing.
