I cannot believe no one has responded, called benelli USA Today found out that the new franchi affinity 3 is drilled and tapped for a weaver 93a base with 840 screws.... also it takes the standard benelli Mobil chokes.

I am going to possibly try the Talley's ultralite 1 piece base ring they make for the super black eagle.

I'm seriously thinking about a new Affinity 3.5, how do you like the Affinity 3 so far?

I just ordered a affinity 3. Will the 93a base work with a fastfire iii?

Yes a 93a will Work with 840 screws however you should consider a sumtoy mount

Hey I just bought a affinity 3 and tried to mount a 93a rail on it and the screws that came with it were to long. It wouldn't allow the action to slide. I saw you mentioned 840 screws. Is that just a shorter screw? I guess I could get some washer for the screws I have. Any tips?

Buy shorter screws or file them to correct length . I don't think I would washers on my scope base .

8/40 screws mean diameter and amount of threads per inch.  It has nothing to do with length of  screw.  Buy shorter screws...eBay usually has small quantity sales so you don't have to buy more than needed.
