Re: Franchi 48AL 28 ga

Mine didn’t impress me with the factory full. I have a Carlson’s XF that I really like. I’m in the process of getting a Sumtoy.

Re: Flyers away from pattern center

At 40 yards you could easily have a flier 5' - 6' from the center of your pattern.

Several variables would dictate your maximum spread.

Yes I was referring to their ported version. I ordered a .560 from them which is non-ported.

Indian Creek .555

I'm considering an IC .555 for my 870 21" barrel. Do I get the one with all of the slits cut in it or do they make a different version?

Thanks,
