Was playing about with it earlier and as it turns out this is exactly what was happening.. don’t know why I’ve noticed it happening more recently. Thanks a lot for the reply 👍

Hi guys, got an issue with my Franchi Affinity. Occasionally when I put a cartridge in the chamber the carrier remains locked forward, meaning i am unable to put any in the tube. The cartridge drop lever also doesn’t come down. This would suggest that the gun isn’t cocked but I am still able to pull the trigger. The bolt head rotates and seems to be in place.. I have an extended charging handle and a welded carrier but I don’t see why this would make any difference. Anyone got an ideas or experienced this before? Cheers

I recently got my left hand Franchi Affinity carrier/lifter welded up by Bunnykiller. As you can tell from the image below it is a very professional job for a great price, definitely worth the investment for anyone looking for this modification (Welded carrier is the one in the gun and on the right is a standard one for reference) Franchi's share many components with Benneli's so unfortunately the carrier can also give the infamous Benneli bite. The mod removes this completely allowing you to put your thumb right into the tube and back out without tearing your thumb off. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to avoid this! Thanks again Bunnykiller!
