INSIGHT


HA1331 Franchi Instinct L Color Case, O/U, 12 Ga., 2 3/4" & 3", 28"MC Bbls., New-In-Case, $995

For a full page of  photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.

Franchi Says:  The Instinct L features an all-steel, extra-strong color-case receiver with the name “Instinct L” engraved in gold on the right side. The distinctive receiver includes a tang-mounted automatic safety that also acts as a barrel selector. An attractive gold-plated trigger completes the Instinct L’s stylish look. The Prince of Wales style stock is cut from A-Grade satin walnut and features cut checkering on the slim forend and pistol grip. A traditional satin oil-finish complements the wood’s beautiful grain and protects the stock from the elements of weather.

Hero's Arms Says:  This is an attractive light weight shotgun, with an automatic safety making it especially suited to hunting.  It has a 14 3/8" Length of Pull.  It should shoot to the point of aim (the pattern should be 50% above and 50% below) according to a laser check.  This is an exceptional price for a quality shotgun with a 3 year warranty.

Franchi Says:  Franchi’s Instinct SL over & under is a modern classic that combines the best of Italian tradition and craftsmanship with the latest innovative technology for the right look-the right feel.

Hero's Arms Says:  This is a very light weight shotgun, with an automatic safety making it especially suited to hunting.  I would not recommend it for regular clay target shooting, it it too light, the recoil would be daunting. .

ALCIONE


Alcione Accessory Barrels - All Alcione Barrels Interchange

These Extra Barrels allow you to make your 12 Gauge hunting gun into a Sporting Clays or a 20 Gauge upland hunting gun, or your 20 Gauge into a 12 Gauge.  There may not be any more of these Alcione barrels coming in, Alciones are not being made any more, these were ordered in 2005, so if you want one don't delay.  If any Alcione barrel does not fit your Alcione, return it to Hero's Arms for a full refund including shipping both ways.  Frequently the top lever will be considerably to the right of center with a new barrel.  This is normal, and the lever will come closer to center through wear over time. If it goes left of center the gun needs to be rebuilt. As long as the action locks, the trigger works, and the hammer falls it is working as designed.

RENAISSANCE  


Franchi Renaissance Twin Shock Absorber (TSA) recoil pads for Sporting, Field, Classic and Elite guns are available in different thicknesses. These TSA Pads also fit the Franchi I-12 Semi-Automatic. In the photo here the Gel insert has been pushed out (it just pushes in and out), which is the way they come.  Renaissance guns come with a 14 ½” pad, (which, with the gel pad inserted gives a 14 9/16” or 14 5/8” LOP).  Substituting a 14 ¾” pad will increase the LOP to slightly over 14 ¾”, and the 15” pad will increase the LOP to slightly over 15”.  Two Phillips Head screws hold the pad in place, making it easy to replace.  Replacement pads are $30 with a $5.00 mailing charge. Replacement Gel Inserts are $30 with a $5.00 mailing charge.  Call Hero's Arms at 802-372-4789 to reserve one, and send a check for $35 to "Hero's Arms, PO Box 320, South Hero, VT 05486." If you purchase a thicker pad when you purchase a Renaissance we will install it for you, if desired, at no additional charge, and include the old pad in the gun case when we ship it.
