Benelli/Franchi “Click”?

[JeffP_Or]

2019 Franchi Affinity 3 Elite here - never even heard of this malady until yesterday [on another forum]. All sorts of loads from target through goose to coyote - counting my lucky stars, never had it happen.
Are the springs between the Benelli and Franchi the same diameter? I thought all Benelli springs were in the buttstock whereas Franchi are on the mag tube.
Following for sure.

I’ve got the Affinity 3.5. Bought it well used, and it’s been flawless for me.

You can bump it out pretty easily if you're carrying the gun in one hand by the receiver too. I pull my bolt back and let it slam home any time I suspect it may be out.

I've had it happen a couple of times (~2017 affinity 12 ga, maybe 700 rounds...) it hasn't really been a huge issue but like stated above, start with a replacement factory spring. I also think they are a great gun for the money

I missed a gobbler of a lifetime when my m2 had its one and only Click failure , it was from me trying to load the gun quietly earlier than day, I still dream about and wake in a cold sweat often

Note to all: grit your teeth and let the charging handle or bolt slam home on semi-autos.
