crazyhair Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Is it worth the extra few hundred $ for the M2. The M2 has crio and comfortech and is .7lbs lighter I-12 holds an extra shell, recoil spring in the mag and is cheaper by a lot. but is it worth being cheap when your spending this kind of money.

M2 Tactical Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Get the M-2 and a magazine extension from Tom Knapp. site. It's probably a weapon you'll keep for many years to come and even hand down to your heirs. Quote

fattire75 Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 **** you can buy a M1 for $750 now. Buy one before they are all gone. Good luck. The Franchi I-12 is a new gun. I would not want to be a guinea pig Quote
mudhen Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 I'm not overly impressed with the I-12 so far. I assembled 2 the other day and both had issues. Both had poorly installed beads, and both stocks were ugly and gray. A quick blast of CLP made the stocks black for now, but I wasn't impressed. I'm guessing the I-12 will take lots of breaking in and some fine tuning. After that, they should work fine. The I-12 comes with plain old Mobil chokes. I'll stick with Benelli thanks.... mudhen - CA Quote
