Compact Stock Configuration

The Compact configuration is designed around reduced stock dimensions compared with a conventional full-size field shotgun. This provides an alternative for smaller-framed shooters and others who require a shorter stock fit.

Proper firearm fit should be determined individually, and any stock adjustments or replacement components should follow Franchi's specifications.

Inertia Driven® Operating System

The Affinity 3 uses an Inertia Driven® operating system that utilizes recoil energy to cycle the semi-automatic action rather than relying on a conventional gas-operated mechanism. Its relatively simple operating architecture is a defining characteristic of the Affinity platform.

26-Inch Field Barrel

The 26-inch barrel provides a compact field-oriented configuration and complements the reduced dimensions of the Affinity 3 Compact. The barrel is paired with an interchangeable choke system for use with compatible choke tubes.

3-Inch Chamber

This Affinity 3 is equipped with a 3-inch chamber for compatible 20-gauge shotshells. Ammunition should conform to the gauge, shell length, pressure, and other requirements established by Franchi.

Walnut Wood Stock

The walnut stock and fore-end give this Affinity 3 Compact a traditional sporting-shotgun appearance. Natural wood grain provides visual variation between individual firearms, making each walnut-stock configuration somewhat distinctive in appearance.

Fiber-Optic Front Sight

A fiber-optic front sight provides a highly visible reference point at the muzzle end of the barrel. Its straightforward sighting arrangement complements the shotgun's field-oriented configuration.

Interchangeable Choke System

The Affinity 3 incorporates an interchangeable choke system that accepts compatible choke tubes for appropriate field and sporting applications. Always ensure the shotgun is completely unloaded before inspecting, removing, or installing a choke tube.

Field & Sporting Configuration

Combining a 20-gauge chambering, 26-inch barrel, compact stock, and semi-automatic action, this Affinity 3 configuration is intended primarily for field, hunting, and sporting applications where reduced stock dimensions are appropriate.

Care & Maintenance

Follow the Franchi Affinity 3 owner's manual for loading, unloading, cleaning, lubrication, inspection, choke installation, maintenance, and storage. Confirm the shotgun is completely unloaded before cleaning, inspection, maintenance, or storage.
