Salop Matt Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Hi Folks, Mrs SS has bought herself a nice secondhand Fanchi semi auto (620vs) only we only have the one choke for it and No owners manual (The price did reflect this). So am now on the search of a owners manual or photocopy of one or PDF format one if anyone can be of assistance ? Secondly can anyone confirm that the Franchi`s take beretta chokes ? Need to buy some more (20g) And finally when we got the gun home it got a real good clean and put back together and it looks beautiful i just need to check that i put the gas piston back in the correct way up ? Can any one can help with this ? I have only used and stripped an old Browning B80 before which is completly different. I promise to pay more attention in future when stripping things in future !

2shots Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Some idiot recently told people that BERETTA chokes fit hatsans as well, they do indeed screw in but then your barrels blow up,Personally I would stick to franchi chokes,theres plenty used franchis around to be able to find the correct chokes.

casts_by_fly Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 www.trulockchokes.com they have an interchange chart that shows what will work with what. They are choke manufacturers and make some of the best chokes on the market. For a 20 bore Franchi they are saying Benelli. You can just order directly through them and call it a day. They have great prices and their chokes are second to none. For the manual, go to shotgunworld.com and go into the franchi forums. You'll find one there. Thanks, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Yikes, well we only have the one fanchi choke that is 1/4 but cant find anyone that sells Franchi chokes ! Its a 20g . Any help would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 if it is the 20 g, then it will fit a 20 ga benelli choke. Find your local benelli dealer and check what they have in stock. Bring in the gun and check to make sure. Benelli is pretty common. That said, a 1/4 choke will do you pretty well for most field use and should get you through until you find one. thanks rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
