Little_Dom Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 There's a franchi 612 semi (sporter) for sale at my local gun shop it has 30 inch barrels ( one of the things that is putting me off) has anyone had any experience of one of these? Also would getting a shorter barrel be as simple as buying a shorter barrel to fit the gun? Or would i be better off asking the shop if they sell new franchi auto's as this is the only one i've seen on sale there before ( they sell all other gmk products) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little_Dom Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 He's asking £500 for it and its been there a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stokie Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I used to have the 612 reverpress it even cycled 21g clay loads with ease . You can turn the piston around for heavy and light loads. It was a fantastic gun . The only reason I sold it was to fund a rifle . £500 sounds a little steep if he's had it in a while offer him £400 and haggle away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebarrels Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Sorry misread your post its the 612 your looking at not the 612vs just had a look on guntrader and its on there,seems a bit steep at £500 though,Avalon have a 612vs for £450 on guntrader which looks mint,and I think they deliver BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
