Newbie poster asks about Franchi LAW-12 shotgun

[steelsetter]

Does anyone here shoot one of these at matches? Or know where a guy can buy choke tubes for them? Thanks for any info you can provide.

Does the Franchi use one of the "standard" choke tube sizes/threads? Colonial makes tubes that fit just about everything including many of the imports. You might call Brownells (800-741-0015) and ask them. If they can't get them they will know where you can get them; assuming they are even available in this country.

I haven't seen one at a match that I know of. The matches around here are pretty much either Benelli or Remington dominated with some Browning, HK and Mossberg thrown in.

Good luck!

I saw someone use one at the local level years ago. There weren't that many made and they were pretty expensive as I recall.

The threads are on the outside of the barrel. I am thinking about putting a Cutts Compensator on it if I cannot find any reasonably priced chokes in the next month. Thanks for the reply

Thanks for the reply. My 11-87 is slightly easier to reload, however the Franchi has a quicker action and more ammo capacity. I am just starting into this new sport and was just wondering about the Franchi's popularity or lack of. Thanks again
