Franchi’s New Affinity 12-Ga. Compact Semi-Automatic Shotgun
OutdoorHub 01.14.14
Franchi proudly introduces a new Affinity Compact Chambered in 12 gauge. Integrating form and function, the Affinity Compact is the perfect gun for young and small-statured shooters. It’s a sleek, perfectly balanced, semi-automatic shotgun that’s driven by the ultra-reliable Inertia system.
The key feature of the Compact is its buttstock, which offers a 12 3/8-inch length-of-pull (LOP), and to which included spacers can be added in ¼-inch increments, increasing the LOP to 13 3/8 inches. As a young shooter grows, so grows the gun. When the time is appropriate, a full-size buttstock can be fitted to the Affinity Compact. A shim kit comes standard with the Compact, allowing for adjustment of drop and cast.
The Compact features a 26-inch barrel, slim fore end, and is lightweight for shots requiring a quick swing. Its refined design allows a responsiveness that few shotguns can claim. Available in 12-gauge, the Compact receiver is made of a lightweight, durable aluminum alloy that’s strengthened with steel inserts that ensure a solid steel-to-steel lock-up.
An innovative light, fast and reliable self-loading shotgun, the Affinity Compact is right at home in every type of shooting situation, whether it’s hunting birds or busting clay targets. Shooters now have an Inertia Driven, short-stock shotgun at attractive prices. Picking up the distinctive Compact gives new meaning to “feels right.”
