stu nesling Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 101 uses for a mousemat ! not perfect but the pigeons won't know. Has anyone else had the problem of finding an extension for their franchi affinity ? From what i can find the importer has decided not to stock/sell/import the TSA extended pads for this shotgun. So, i got to thinking about making one of my own. The pics show how i got on. I now have a LOP of 14.5 which matches the dimensions of my old 712 which has now expired (parts available if anyone needs them). I know the stocks are a different shape and they have changed a lot of the dimensions,but it comes up better than ever now. Just need to get it patterned and i will feel more confident.

PPP Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 To be honest it was such a while ago I don’t remember, although I think it took a couple of months turn up on reflection. I think it was around 25 / 30 quid, I wouldn’t have paid more.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
