Affinity vs picktorial 312/16/2023 I cannot verify or deny the claim that the spring’s position reduces recoil, but I can attest to the fact that the spring is easier to access than those in stock-mounted shotguns. Benelli’s SBE 3 and other shotguns have recoil springs in the stock, and when the Affinity first arrived on the market it promised that the forward-mounted recoil spring reduced felt recoil by keeping recoil in line with the shooter’s shoulder. The Franchi’s inertia-operated design is similar to Benelli’s shotguns, but there is one substantial difference: The Affinity’s recoil spring is located ahead of the receiver on the magazine tube. The rotating bolt head locks, and the gun is ready to fire again. When the bolt is shoved back, the empty shell is extracted and ejected, and as the return spring pushes the bolt back forward into position, a new shell is scooped from the carrier and shoved into the chamber. A spring in the bolt body compresses with recoil and that causes the rotating bolt head to release and move rearward. The lone component of the gun that does not move back with each shot is the floating bolt body. Inertia guns rely on the force of recoil to move the shotgun rearward. Like its Benelli cousins, the Affinity Elite utilizes a very simple cycling system comprised almost entirely of a rotating bolt head, a bolt body, and a return spring. Franchi is a sister company of Benelli, and Benelli is, after all, the brand that introduced American hunters to the benefits of Inertia-Driven shotguns. At the heart of the Elite guns is the same trusted Inertia Driven System that has made the workmanlike Affinity one of the most dependable semi-autos on the market today.
