Franchi AL48 problems anyone?

I am going to be giving a short lesson over the AL48 in class this week and have been looking for common problems with the gun but have not found much. Most of the problems that I have found info about have been due to the friction ring and governor not being set correctly.

Are there any common parts failures/problems on these guns?

One other problem is limp wristing the gun, not holding it to your shoulder tightly enough.

A gun fired that way will have failure to eject/feed properly problems.
