Nephew has a Franchi it is a Raptor it broke he has waited a long time for the repair parts to come back to the gunsmith a they were wrong and used! I am not impressed with that at all.

That Sucks The kids and I already own benellis and would like a lefty pump they would have 3 sold as soon as they hit the self

Haven't got to go hunting live game with mine but it smashes clays like mad oh and hand thrown paint balls. I am happy with it. My brother in law wont shoot it for fear he'll want one.

I had a couple of misfires in the first 1000 But now it really does well in fact it will shoot light loads. I am shooting singles trap with when I am doing it though so the next shot is a manual reload.

I don't think so, the barrel and upper reciever are one piece (could be a barrell extention) and the bolt is reverse of the righty. I have a lefty too. I actually am very disappointed they didn't go completely mirror image and have complained to them about it, they don't see a problem. We have always had to be better than righties. I'd like a slug barrel too. So I just break out my dad's gun the MMMosberg 500. I have several barrels for it.

Have you thought of going to the dealer you purchased the gun from and asking them to help you fit it? Not everyone is a gunsmith. Shotgun fit is critical to the point of impact. It is your Sights Most trap shooters prefer the gun to hit about 70% high because the target is on the rise. Sheet shooters like it to be 50/50. The sight beads on the barrel are only a point of reference. They are not rifle sights. There are smiths who actually set-up your gun for you for a minimal fee. You can find them at about any Big shotgun event. Ask at your local fish and game, or gun club who works best for them. Point in fact most firearms will outshoot their owners. Sorry pretty long winded FIN

I tried one but while reshaping it gave up I emailed Birchwood Casey they told me its the first time anyone has asked about fitting it to a lefty

I was told by the Benelli REP not to use teflon based lubes he said it would cause cycling problems

How about an OEM original? Briley Chokes are exactly what you need they make them for Benelli it is an Optima Plus II
