Looking for a Franchi

I own a Franchi 20 gauge model 48 with a polychoke. I would love to get a 12 gauge and 410 bore in the same model and configuration (model 48 with a poly choke)... do they even exist?

  According to the Blue Book, yes and no. They were made in 12 (discontinued in 2001), 20 and 28 gauge. The 20 and 28 are still in production, a 30 second google: http://www.franchiusa.com/firearms/48al.php

  As He Dog says, they only made them in 12, 20, and 28 guage. They even have an improvement in them now with the screw in choke tubes. I have a 28 gauge, and love it for grouse, pheasant, and woodcock hunting. It is super light, fast swinging, and a natural pointer. Just about everyone I let use it has a hard time letting it go.

  Thanks for the input guys... I knew they still make them (didnt know that is was no longer in 12 so thanks for that) but I'm looking for a used 12 with a poly choke (probably a 60's era production gun) but I'm not sure if they were ever produced in that configuration. I'm looking for a 410 too if they ever made one. Like I said, I love my 20... its a great little gun and I'm looking to pick one up in the other two gauges as well. Any help/info would be appreciated.
