Affinity 3 20ga pistol grip
Affinity 3 20ga pistol grip
Affinity 3 Compact 20ga with a Mesa Tactical Urbino (M2 12ga) stock. Just an option for anyone wanting a short LOP pistol grip. Part number on Mesa Tactical website that I used is 91500 (Limbsaver recoil pad).
Re: Affinity 3 20ga pistol grip
Welded a threaded extension onto the Franchi stock bolt nut so it would extend thru the molded plastic washer in the Urbino. Also drilled out the Mesa Tactical supplied Benelli shim so it would mate up to the Franchi shim for a zero twist fit.
Re: Affinity 3 20ga pistol grip
To smooth things out on the side sling attachment points, I taped, etched, filled with JB Plastic, and then cleaned it all up with a Dremel tool. I’m a little OCD so I also used painters tape to cover the receiver and built up the stock a little at the junction with JB Quick. Once cured, I smoothed it up with Dremel.

thats a slick looking gun
Re: Affinity 3 20ga pistol grip
Just purchases a Franch Affinity 3 20 gauge. Does anyone know the diameters of the XF and XXF factory chokes? Also, does anyone know if TSS #9 can be shot through these chokes. I saw written on the XXF not to shoot steel through it. I assume that since this gun is marketed as a “Turkey gun” that TSS is fine. Anyone using these factory chokes to hunt turkeys?

Re: Affinity 3 20ga pistol grip
I loaded some of Hal’s recipes and I got a great pattern using the factory XXF choke out to forty yards with one of his recipes. In fact, it might be a tad tight for me for close birds. I may have drop down to the factory XF choke but I am a happy camper.
Re: Affinity 3 20ga pistol grip
just bought a box of 25 nitro tss #9's in the 20 gauge 3 inch 0nly to find out indian creek is out of stock of the black diamond strike 555 they recommended for my son's Franchi. Anyone try any other choke tubes with this combination? Read somewhere a Carlsons did well.Thanks
Re: Affinity 3 20ga pistol grip
My affinity does well with the Carlson’s .575. Excellent hunting pattern

Would this work on a 12 gauge model as well? 3” chamber
Re: Affinity 3 20ga pistol grip
Do you by any chance still have the compact stock?
Re: Affinity 3 20ga pistol grip
Would love to do this on my stoeger but unfortunately I live in a democratic state that doesn't allow that on a semi
Re: Affinity 3 20ga pistol grip
Why would anyone want to hunt turkeys with a "by definition due to the pistol stock" assault weapon? Wake up people! This is what we are dealing with, and if you don't think that it doesn't affect you, YOU ARE SORELY MISTAKEN!
