I have a Falconet Silver 12 GA. model with a 26" barrel. The gun shoots perfectly. It's a great
field and skeet gun. I'm having trouble with the
safety switch not funtioning corretly sometimes
but Numrich gun parts company has just about
all the replacement parts for it.

I have a Franchi Falconet 97.12 o/u. So it is a 12 guage. My most favorite shotgun. Just finished cleaning it from a pheasant hunt on Saturday. This is the third Franchi shotgun I have owned.... What would you like to know about it???

In case you haven't seen one, here is a pic of mine:

I also have a Falconet 97.12 12 gage O/U and like it very much, but also have trouble with the safety. It works fine when you put it on and off right away, like on the 5 stand range, but if I put the safety on and carry the gun in the field for 1/2 hour or so, it hangs up when I try to shoot. Did you find what your safety problem was and how did you fix it?

I'am looking for A Falconet Buckskin 20 Ga. With 24" Barrel's Cyl & Improved Cyl. I think they were made between 1968 and 1976.
