Bye bye Franchi!

[Zapp]

Well, I have finally made a rather hard choice.

 

After several more frustrating shoots whilst using lighter skeet loads (28g/24g), having had loads of stoppages, my Franchi Raptor went back to GMK 2 weeks ago.

 

It came back, with a note telling me the gas ports had been bored, and that the gun had been tested. Took it out yesterday, guess what? It worked perfectly for a while, then the old probs started again. I therefore phoned the gunshop and told them I wanted my money back. They were very apologetic, and agreed to refund me in full. I happened to ask them if we could come to some arrangement over a new gun, and to cut a long story short, I will be taking delivery of a brand new AL391 Urika next week for the princely sum of £240, the rest being taken up by my refund money.

 

I would like to add, in view of the fact that I know there to be a couple of Raptor owners on the forums, that everyone was amazed that I was having trouble with the gun, and that it was definately a rogue gun, not a reflection on the Raptors usually fine performance.

 

Cant wait for next week!

It's true that bad apples crop up in most products, shame you had to put up with the frustrations of a badly behaved gun but it sounds like you've come out of it smiling.

 

Good luck with the new Beretta Jammy sod!!!
