Franchi Affinity 3 X Wood 12/76 LL66cm / MX

The traditional version of the Franchi improved Affinity 3 semi-automatic shotguns: the Affinity 3 X Wood with the class 2 walnut stock.The Italian company Franchi has revised its Affinity 3 semi-automatic shotguns and launched thoroughly improved "X" versions, including the Affinity 3 X Wood, available with 4 barrel lengths. The main innovations concern:

the ergonomic wooden stockthe L.O.P. spacerthe TSA recoil reductionthe fish scale texture of the grip surfacesthe fore-endthe magazine end capthe boltthe trigger guardthe loading system

The Stock
The ergonomically improved class 2 walnut stock allows the hand to sit advantageously close to the sight line. The fore-end with the internal tube magazine, which has a capacity of 4+1 cartridges, is pleasantly slim and light since it does not need space for a gas pressure loading system. The end cap on the tube magazine can be easily unscrewed. This allows the Affinity 3 X Wood to be effortlessly disassembled for cleaning. The stock end is formed by a stock cap with the equally optimized Twin Shock Absorber (TSA). This recoil pad reduces perceived recoil by half. With the new L.O.P. spacer, the length of pull can be adjusted.

The System
The system of the Affinity 3 X consists of a black anodized aluminum alloy and fits perfectly into the shotgun. The improved inertia-driven recoil loading system consists of only three parts – bolt body, spring, and bolt head – making it less prone to issues and very low maintenance. All components are easy to clean. Additionally, the loading process is greatly accelerated. The shotgun is very well balanced and the recoil is less harsh. The safety is located on the newly designed trigger guard in front of the trigger. Safety and release are operated with the trigger finger by pressing left or right. As an additional visual signal, a red border warns when the safety is off. The trigger can be comfortably operated even with gloves. The bolt lever and the unlocking head have also been optimized.

The Barrel
The matte blued barrel is made of steel and available in lengths of 61, 66, 71, and 76 cm. It is equipped with an 8 mm wide ventilated sight rib carrying a fiberglass front sight. The top of the rib is finely guilloché. The scope includes 3 MX choke inserts.
