So after receiving a second Franchi with damage to the top of the receiver, my ffl guy and I took a hard look at the packaging of the gun. We determined that both of the guns that had been shipped to me had damage from the barrel lug rubbing against the receiver during shipment. I sent the second gun back and received a refund from the company that I purchased it from. After spending alot of time researching online, I decided to drive to a dealer (2 hours away) to look at one of their Franchis to see if it had similar damage as the 2 that I had received. After looking at a couple guns I determined that those guns weren't damaged and had similar camo dip finishes to the ones I had ordered. I decided that even though the finish wasn't what I would expect from a gun in this price range that I would buy it anyway. Soon as I made it home, I installed a Carlson's .575 extended choke, Sumtoy mount, Vortex Venom and a matching sling. I can't wait to shoot this gun tomorrow and see how it performs with TSS!
