Franchi 712 auto - 2 shot ??

I have just purchased a used Franchi 712 semiauto , and it does not appear to be a three shot , in that when I insert a second shell , it does not go into the magazine but sits just below the breach .It cycles perfectly but will not allow a third shell to be inserted .Is it a two shot version or is there something wrong with the magazine , or perhaps it needs adjusting / repairing ?

I have had a previous Franchi semiauto and it was a three shot so I am a little confused !!

never heard of a 2 shot, but could be proved wrong.especially if it has a non std mag tube on it.(as per figgy)

 

take off the forend and then the barrel.

on the end of the mag tube is a circlular internal type of securing split ring that holds the bits in.

remove that carefully........the spring is 4 foot long and flies well lol. you should have a spring,a plastic

restrictor that sits in the end and the plug for the end of the spring where you insert shells. give it a good clean out.

iam guessing there is rust stopping the plug (shell end) on the spring going any further as it is a very close fit.

 

pm if you need anything
