INSTINCT CATALYST(See page 8)

History A leader in modern manufacturing techniques with a history that dates back to 1868, Franchi has perfected the art of building quality over & under and semi-automatic shotguns. Franchi embraces the philosophy of providing new products for new needs—a concept that’s driven the company from its beginning. When a gun “feels right”, it’s about more than just the fit, the cast, the length of pull. A gun that feels right belongs in the field. It becomes part of why we hunt; part of the picture we paint in our minds when we relive that day. Franchis are designed to capture the emotion of why we hunt. They feel like they belong, balancing effortlessly in the field, mounting perfectly when the time comes to make the perfect shot. Hunting is a sport of passion – a Franchi enhances that passion.

Simply, put, Franchi Feels Right.

After field testing the new Franchis on safari in Kenya, Mike Schoby, editor of Petersen’s Hunting Magazine, said it best: “Feels right” is more than just the fit of the gun; it’s the experience you get when using it. “Done right”, as in the case of both the Instinct and Affinity, is a feeling that lasts far longer than the birds in the freezer or even the photos in a scrapbook. Yes, both Franchis physically feel right, but it’s the memories and camaraderie they create that really touch your soul…which is really why we hunt in the first place.” Your Franchi firearm is backed by a 7-Year Warranty.

A 7-Year Warranty guarantees that if anything should go wrong, under normal use, your firearm will be serviced for you by skilled gunsmiths at our national firearm service center. While your Franchi is under warranty, we will assume the cost of parts, labor and shipping required to get your firearm back to you and working perfectly.

Technology More than 60 years ago Franchi began manufacturing the long-recoil 48 AL, hailed as an innovation in shotgun technology, and the ultimate refinement of long-recoil autoloaders. The next development was in the direction of gas-operated semi-autos, and the current modernization trend includes the incorporation of the Inertia Driven® system to drive the latest generation of Franchi semi-automatic shotguns. The Franchi semi-autos remain the choice of many discerning wingshooters for their lightning-fast handling qualities and superior “feel.”

Franchi shotguns are quality firearms that meet today’s demanding standards without compromising the original ideas and concepts that make Franchi firearms unique. Combining cutting-edge modern manufacturing methods and technology with Old-World gun craftsmanship, has enabled Franchi to create sets of shotguns that are amazingly simple, yet absolutely reliable. With modern metallurgy and technology and their distinct lightweight styling, Franchi's 48 AL, Instinct over & unders and the Inertia Driven® Affinity are testament to that fact.

Step 1 CHAMBERING As the bolt assembly moves into battery, the locking head pin moves along a curved track in the bolt body to rotate the steel bolt head into engagement with the steel barrel extension.

Step 3 RECOIL Near the end of the recoil cycle the chamber drops to a safe level and the gun’s rearward motion slows. The heavy inertia spring then thrusts the bolt assembly rearward, unlocking the rotating head, pulling the spent shell from the chamber and recocking the hammer.

Step 4 EJECTION As the bolt assembly continues to the rear it compresses the recoil spring on the magazine tube and pulls the spent shell against the ejector. After the empty shell exits the receiver the recoil spring then thrusts the bolt assembly forward, lifting the next shell into position and pushing it into the chamber. The gun is ready to fire again…in a fraction of a second!

7-YEAR WARRANTYINDUSTRY-LEADING

Step 2 FIRING When the gun fires every part of the shotgun except the bolt body moves rearward. The curved track in the bolt body, which is moving forward relative to the rest of the gun, presses against the locking head pin, turning the bolt head even tighter into the barrel extension. A shell is allowed to exit from the magazine.

The Intensity’s ultra-reliable Inertia-Driven® system, features a bolt assembly with a rotating bolt head that ensures a positive steel-to-steel lock-up.

The Intensity is a 3½-inch 12-gauge powerhouse, featuring the versatile Inertia Driven® system. It embodies the feel of a smaller gauge gun with a slim attractive profile, possible because the recoil spring encircles the magazine tube located forward of the receiver. Further slimming is accomplished by trimming down the dimensions of the durable polymer stock, which also includes a removable balance weight fitted in the buttstock for adjustable weight distribution and balance.

The Intensity is available in four finishes and comes with either a 26-, 28- or 30-inch barrel that sports a stepped, ventilated-rib with a red fiber-optic front sight. Three choke tubes are supplied with the Intensity, including IC, M, and F (choke wrench included). Shouldering and aiming the Intensity is like pointing your finger—you will instantly know what “right” feels like.

Four recessed dovetail slots are machined into the standard Intensity receiver to facilitate quick and easy mounting of optics and accessories.

The Intensity features a 31⁄2-inch chamber, designed to handle the heaviest 31⁄2-inch magnum loads for waterfowl and turkey, down to 23⁄4-inch, 11⁄8 ounce target loads.

The Intensity’s dependable trigger group is easily removed for cleaning and maintenance by punching out a single pin.

A Classic Over & Under Designed Just for Her

The Italian tradition and craftsmanship of the Franchi Instinct series, fully re-imagined in an innovative, affordable, 12-ga. over & under built for specifically for women. Like its sister, the Affinity Catalyst, our Instinct Catalyst’s stock has been redesigned with a drop, cast, pitch, LOP and grip length that better aligns with a women’s body. Red, fiber-optic front sights put eyes on target quickly and confidently, with a classic, A-Grade satin walnut finish that just looks right, as well. Much more than just a shorter stock dressed in pink, this is a shotgun that immediately feels right in the hands and on the shoulder of today’s women shooters.

The Ultimate Auto-Loader for Ladies

Affinity Catalyst

On the heels of its wildly popular predecessor, the Franchi Affinity, our 12-Ga. Affinity Catalyst gives shooters the same sleek, perfectly balanced feel, with one notable upgrade: The stock is optimized to feel right in a woman’s hands. Compared to a stock designed for men, the Affinity Catalyst’s drop, cast, pitch, and length-of-pull are all tailored to a woman’s build. The light weight, fit, feel and responsiveness are noticeable. This allows for an outstanding level of control and outright pleasure in what stands to become industry’s most affordable, Inertia Driven®, semiautomatic shotgun made specifically for women.

The Affinity Catalyst features a 3-inch chamber, which is designed to handle everything from 23⁄4-inch, 11⁄8 ounce target loads to the heavy 3-inch magnum loads for waterfowl and turkey. The conveniently located safety, at the rear of the trigger guard, makes for easier, more intuitive operation.

The A-Grade satin walnut stock of the Affinity Catalyst has been specifically designed to better accommodate a woman’s build. The drop, cast, pitch, and length-of-pull have all been tailored to women shooters.

A) The trigger guard of the Instinct Catalyst displays a gold-inlaid Franchi logo. The receiver is color case-hardened for strength and an attractive look.

B) The drop, cast, pitch, length-of-pull and grip length of the Instinct Catalyst’s A-Grade satin walnut stock have all been optimized to fit women shooters.

C) The Instinct Catalyst receiver is all-steel construction and is fitted with automatic ejectors. The female-specific fit and light weight allow for a smooth, balanced swing that just feels right at the range or in the field.
