Franchi Affinity 3 X Synthetic Black 12/76 LL61cm / MX

Robust, reliable and all in black: the optimized Franchi Affinity 3 X Synthetic Black semi-automatic shotgun in caliber 12/76 with four barrel lengths.The semi-automatic Affinity 3 shotguns have been revised by the Italian company Franchi and launched as extensively improved "X" versions. This also applies to the Affinity 3 X Synthetic Black, which is available with 4 barrel lengths. The main innovations concern:

The stock
With the ergonomically improved black synthetic stock, the hand lies advantageously close to the sight line. The fore-end with the internal tube magazine, which has a capacity of 4+1, is pleasantly slim and light since it does not require space for a gas pressure loading system. The bolt cap at the end of the tube magazine can be easily unscrewed. This allows the Affinity 3 X Synthetic Black to be easily disassembled for cleaning. The stock end is formed by a stock cap with the equally optimized Twin Shock Absorber (TSA). This recoil pad reduces the perceived recoil by half. With the new L.O.P. spacer, the length of the buttstock can be adjusted. The black composite material from which the stock is made gives the entire shotgun a modern design.

The system
The system of the Affinity 3 X is made of an 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 – and is therefore less prone to issues and extremely low maintenance. All components are easy to clean. Additionally, the loading process is greatly accelerated. The rifle is very well balanced and the recoil is less harsh. The safety is located on the new 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 easily operated even with gloves. The bolt lever and the unlocking head have also been optimized.

The barrel
The 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 rail that carries a fiberglass front sight. The top of the rail is finely guilloched. The scope includes 3 MX interchangeable chokes.
