Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns Franchi affinity compact 20 recoil pad (found one)

Posting this to help someone else hopefully. These guns come with a hard as a rock recoil pad. Kinda harsh for youngins . Well long story short its impossible to find a replacement pad. Emailed kick eez , they asked for dimensions. And suggested a KZ105 . Its a grind to fit and its a huge upgrade. Brings lop to right at 13"

Thanks for the tip.

I bought one of these for my son and put a slip on over the crappy factory pad. This is a much better solution, I'll order one.

We owned one for a couple years, joker just wouldnt cycle target loads, a good stout turkey load, duck load, just fine. Franchi told me to put two cases of winchester aa heavy target through it and get back with them. I wasnt about to drop 250 on shells to break in a gun. I've never had to do that with any of my remingtons, benellis, berettas. That 250 could have gone towards an m2 or something. My buddies full size 20 affinity did the same thing, but he doesnt shoot skeet or clays with it very often so its not an issue. He uses his mainly for ducks. I also know of two others than have had the "benelli click" happen to them when turkey hunting. A little bump will back the bolt up. I tried to do the right thing and get my son a nice shotgun, it just didn't work out. Ran across an 1187 compact and its been wonderful.

I will say those 20ga affinities feel and point really really good.

Sorry, I know this was a recoil pad post, looks good and those compacts do come with crap pads compared to the fullsize

All good ! I have a benelli m2 , theres a good bit of difference in this and a benelli. I got this mainly for a turkey gun for my oldest , and ol lady. The factory drilled and tapped reciever and compact lenght plus some leftover bass pro gift cards made this all happen. Its no benelli, i have a mint 20 gauge skeet model 1100 that gets lot of the range time

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks!
