I handled franchi 612 at a store yesterday. Loded two dummy shells into the tube, tried to chamber. No luck. Read the manual, tried again, no luck. The store owner tried, suceeded after a while. Seems that the gun must be dry-fired to feed (?)
I can't find Mark Penman's site URL anymore (all links are obsolete) but he had something similar about 1201FP.
I am trying to figure out if I am doing something wrong or if Italian shotguns are designed by morons more concerned about unloading the magazine in a convinient manner than about ability to fire the gun. Thoughts?
