Franchi affinity 20. Greenleaf!

I loaded my first TSS shells last spring after having purchased my Affinity 3. I did have issues with those shells feeding. I might try loading some 2 3/4" shells to see if that works or trim a little more off the 3" hulls.

I did trim the 3" some. I believe most of my rolled shells have an overall length of about 2-9/16"
I'm hoping this is short enough.

Did you happen to try to load one in the magazine, hit the mag release button and manually cycle one? I'm just curious if this is an accurate way to try them without shooting a bunch of shells trying to make sure each round I loaded works...

I didn't try that...but my shells are longer than factory ones. I'll have to check it out a little more. This hasn't been a high priority for me since I am concentrating more on .410's and 28's. I'll let you know what I find with my Franchi setup.

Looks great! Did you have to have any gunsmith work done or did the sumtoy base work with the factory drilled holes?

The sumtoy fit perfectly! That was one reason I chose the franchi, because the gun was already drilled.

I tried to manually cycle my handloads through the gun with no success. My shells measured 2 11/16" (1-7/8 oz). The Apex shells measured 2 9/16" and Federal HW measured 2 5/8" for reference. These measurements were taken with a basic measuring tape (maybe not precise). Next time I handload for the 20ga, I'll have to try to shorten the finished product!

If you decide to get rid of one choke or the other let me know...

Got the same gun just in Black doesn't look as good as yours, also I have the Indian Creek choke 555, I have a TruGlo on mine haven't had any problems shooting Federal and TSS 300 shot 10 inch circle at 40 yards. The shells are hard to load in the magazine because it is so narrow, also the Apex TSS same to be a tad long
