Hi all!

First post on here. My name is Blakes (Marc really!) and i've recently bought a Franchi (pretty sure it's an AL 48 however, there is no 'model' on the gun). The serial number starts with 48, so maybe this is an indication??

Took my Franchi clay shooting today (my first outing with it), and I was really impressed with how it handled and shot.

I got it back home to give it a good clean, and once I got it all back together, I noticed that the trigger would pull and click when not 'cocked'. Is this 'normal'? Basically, if the gun has been cocked, and the action fired off, I can still pull the trigger and there is movement like it's firing plus a clicking within the trigger mechanism.

Hope that made sense! Any help/info would be much appreciated.


Hope to get some pictures up of it soon.


Thanks, Blakes, from the UK
