rabbiter Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 hoping someone could shed some light ,ive got a franchi affinity semi auto,and last time out I found that the carrier isn't going back down into position to push the next shell into the breech,it remains in the up position,but after pressing the side button it goes back down,any ideas guys,its probably something simple that I haven't seen,thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Have you stripped and cleaned it recently or since it started happening. I found with my Benelli the odd time with soft shooting loads and if not oiled enough this happened once in a while, will it cycle if you tap the bolt forward ? My gun was not going through a full cycle sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbiter Posted April 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 I'm using 35gm 5"s mate but as with yours its not fully cycling ,I'm gonna strip the trigger group and see if the problem is obvious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian North Wales Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 I have the Affinity and its happened to me a few times, after a good clean it works fine but still feels "sticky" ? I looked at a new one at the NEC show and it was loads better .... really smooth. Maybe there is an upgraded part we need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there is an upgraded part we need? hello, contact the importer they were very helpful when choosing mine, if something is at fault you can get your RFD where you purchased to return under warranty Edited May 1, 2018 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getthegat Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 What sort of age guns are we talking about here? I have one which is about 2 or 3 years old. No problems, just wondering if I need to get ahead of the problem before it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
