New gun Franchi 3000

wftree · February 8, 2008, 08:04 AM

Just got a great deal on a Franchi 3000. I have become very interested in trap shooting. Bought a old Western electric launcher and set up my own trap field. 5 stations at 16 yards.

Can anyone tell me how to identify the chokes. I have not removed them yet to look. They are set screw mounted chokes in both the single and O/U barrels

Thanks I will let you know how it shoots this weekend I intend to drag the generator out and do some shooting if I can get a break in the weather.

Some chokes will have the size on it: full, extra full, mod, improved cly,

There is a trick with a dime. I have read about it but the exact details are not that fresh in my mind.
