Franchi Affinity Turkey 20 Gauge

My son and I just purchased ourselves one of the Franchi Affinity Turkey models with the steady grip stock in 20 gauge (Franchi model number is 41335). His came with two extended chokes - one marked XF and one marked XXF. I assume that's extra full and extra extra full. According to what I can find in Franchi's literature, one is .593 and the other .565. My gun (ordered from the same place on the same day) arrived with an extended choke marked XF and a flush stainless steel choke with one notch in the muzzle end which is a standard factory full. I have called Benelli/Franchi and they act as if they cannot find a part number or exactly what exact chokes are supposed to come with this gun. All I see in info is that it is supposed to come with two extended turkey chokes. Benelli customer service is "trying to find out what chokes I am supposed to have" and have been for two days. I have attached photos of what chokes I got versus what chokes he got. Anyone who has purchased this gun, chime in with which chokes you got with your gun from the factory please....

It didn't come with the two extended turkey chokes if that's what it's supposed to come with and your info supports this, you have one extended and one flush choke.

Yeah I got that.....I was just wanted verifying from anyone else who had purchased the same shotgun if theirs came with two extended like my sons (bottom photo) or what came in mine (top photo). I am sure what I got was incorrect....

I ment no offense and sorry for pointing out the obvious but you never know you you're messaging on these forums  :TooFunny:
and it looks like you have enough posts to know what your talking about.

I think you have the wrong chokes too,  :z-twocents:

Mine came with the two chokes your son has.  Congrats to you for discovering the sizes.  I could not find that info.

Picked up my F A 3 Elite today, had 3 chokes in box, all dirty, 1 was shot thru for sure. Ordered Trulock .585 based on all the patterns that have been posted. 3rd different choke is a " No Steel Shot Full" no other marking on it? The other 2 are made by Rino

I purchased that gun some months ago and mine came with two Rino chokes.
