Franchi 48AL 20ga. barrels

lead

I recently bought a nice used Franchi shotgun. It has a vent rib, IC choke. I was wondering if anyone made a replacement barrel for it that takes choke tubes. I looked at Franchi's web site but didn't see anything listed. I did order their catalog though. IC is good for most things I'd be doing with it anyway, I was just wondering. Thanks.

  I have not seen one, but that may mean only that I have missed it. My Franchi was built in the late 60's, and I had Briley bore out the chokes and thread it for screw in chokes. That destroyed its' collector value, but since it had none, it only made it more expensive than I could ever get out of it. I plan to get my moneys worth using it. There are likely other gunsmiths that could do the same job for less $$ than Briley.
