I had to use a pair of plyers the first few times I took the bolt handle out of my 712. Use a peace of leather or inner tube rubber the protect it from being marred by the plyers.

Make sure the reversible gas piston is set for light loads.
Fuzz: You have to remember, most folks don't go looking for a place to post about something that's working just fine. They look for a place to post about a problem their having. You should do a...
I would just call Franchi (301)283-6981. Tell them the shims didn't come with you gun. If you leave out the part about buying it used the might even send them to you at no charge.
I've done a few turkey shoots, but I wasn't really setup for it. I was using my clay gun, since I don't own a turkey gun. I found out real quick that some of those people take it way to serious. I...
Loose??? If its the same as my 712 it should sort of wiggle a little, or twist back and forth in the hole, (like turning a key in a door knob) and this is normal. Does it just wiggle a little, or...
I've had my Raptor for a year now, and I love it. No jams yet, and only one miss feed, on a deformed factory shell, that I should have caught before I loaded it. I'm glad that one didn't feed, it...
You didn't say you were looking for an Eddie Bauer custom eddition with gold inlays and pearl accented handles. tongue.gif
However $350 does seem rather excessive. :rolleyes:

Good one!

Just ignore him, Tucker likes to give people a hard time. He's also our official spell checker. :rolleyes:
I have a 712 Raptor, I believe the 712 & 912 operating systems to be the same,...
I've had my 712 Raptor for about a year now, and I love it! I paid $799.00 for mine, and it was worth every penny. I'm well over 6000 rounds now, all #8 shot 1 1/8th OZ. and some of my wife's 1 OZ....
This is a brief poll to see how others here on the forum use their shotguns the most.

Telling someone what the correct lengh or type of gun for them should be, is like telling them what the corret shape and deminsions of their body should be.
It just has to fit and feel right for...
That's when it's time to look at a 712, 712 Raptor, or 912. They have an adjustable gas piston that can be set for light or heavy loads. They are designed for the light loads that clay shooters...
Who comes up with these nominations? There's not 1 gun for serious clay shooters on the list! :mad: I know the Franchi Raptor and the Benelli Super Sport technically came out at the end of 2004...
One must always remember that any gun can spend years sitting on the shelves in the manufacturers warehouse, distributor warehouses, and your local sporting goods store’s stock room, before finally...
A gun “SHOULD” be cleaned after each outing. That includes the receiver, bolt, carrier, and trigger assembly. There are detent springs that snap into the grooves on the pins to hold them in place...
I have a 712 Raptor, and I love mine. Unfortunately I've never shot a 391 so I can't give you comparison. I can tell you that the 712 is a gas system with a reversible gas piston (You put the...
One thing I’ve learned from my many gun buying experiences, including many special orders for my wife who happens to be a lefty. Is that the firearms industry supply chain is unlike any other...
Most Franhi Semi's are clearly marked on the receiver. Often there are markings on the bottom of the receiver, next to, or in front of the loading port.
If you can't find anything, you could...

I bought one of these magnetic sights for my 712 Raptor and was very disapointed with it. The sight creaps backwards with...
I haven't shot the Beretta, so I can't really compare. I love my Raptor. I've only had it since Christmas, but so far it's been flawless. I've yet to have a single jam or malfunction. A normal...
Sorry to hear about the wife. :rolleyes: My wife bought me my Raptor for christmas, :D but then my wife shoots with me. :cool:
Maybe you could try getting a gun for your wife. It...
Now I don't care who you are, that there was funny.
