The Franchi is a pretty good gun although a little light for everyday shooting. Good for a carry around shotgun for the upland though. The long recoil action needs a little help most of the time. Make sure the mag tube is clean and has a light coat of light oil. Too much and the action slams too much and a little oil in the internal workings of the action. If that doesn't fix the function problems then you have a worn or broken part that can't be figured out on line. These guns are prone to some parts breakage because of the recoil action...and (I hate to say this) they aren't built quite as robustly as a (gag) Browning. Do you get the impression I don't care for(gag) Brownings??
Also make certain the action rings on the spring on the mag tube are in the right order.
