bruno22rf Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Sold one a few years back - nice enough but, from memory, not a gas auto - pretty sure that I remember it sounded like 2 Skeletons bonking in a biscuit tin when you fired it.

Franchi 520 is soft shooting gas semi auto. You probably had a Franchi 48AL. very light and Long recoil action. Light weight is obvious reason felt recoil would be high regardless. but set the long recoil brake right for ammo your using and felt recoil is fine for such a light gun.
