Parts etc.
Finding parts for european guns has always been tough. Don't count on Beretta being better just cause they own some other companies either. I have always found Beretta very hard to deal with..but not as bad as Browning.. I have an older Franchi O/U Pigeon Gun and even though I don't shoot it very much I know if it breaks parts will be non-existant. Only place I know to get it fixed in a hurry is at the World Pigeon Championships...They always have good support at that shoot..Even Franchi. European guns predominate there anyway. I had a Krieghoff break at the World Skeet Shoot one time..They fixed it in under 5 minutes. Had only put about 80,000 shells through it too. Oh well. Even Krieghoffs break.

It depends
I bought a lovely used Franchi over/under 12 gauge at a very reasonable price and showed it to my gunsmith. He admired the gun and told me if anything broke to be prepared for a very long wait for parts. He showed me several Franchi shotguns sitting on the racks in his shop waiting for parts for over six months. He was not given any delivery dates for the parts. The next week, i traded the Franchi. All the best...
