Franchi Question?

Post by westexasrepublic » Mon Oct 13, 2008 12:26 pm

I have a Franchi 612 VS, I was cleaning it last night when I noticed one of the slide arms that holds the piston to the bolt got sheared off and now only one slide is attached. If anyone is familiar with the gun or had a similar problem please post on what you did for a fix. The dealer I bought the gun at was closed today, and so I dont know if They have to order a whole new piece or what.

I wish you luck. I ordered a replacement stock for my wife's Franchi 720 in August, and the place I ordered it from says it is allegedly still back ordered, and Franchi has no estimate on when it will be available. I sent an e-mail to Franchi last week, and of yet received no response. I'll have to try and call them next week when I get back from my trip.

I think that's inexcusable for a model currently in production.

I'm tempted to send an e-mail to Tom Knapp...
