Inertia Driven

The Inertia Driven® system, employed in the Franchi Affinity 3 and 3.5, affords these shotguns a lighter, slimmer profile for better handling. With no heavy gas cylinder under the forend, Franchi Inertia Driven® shotguns balance and swing like a fine game gun should. 

PROVEN RELIABILITY-  The Inertia Driven® system  never needs adjusting and will cycle anything from field loads to 3½" magnums with consistent reliability year after year, after year. 

SIMPLICITY- Inertia Driven® is simple with only three primary parts: the bolt body, the inertia spring and the rotating bolt head.

CLEANER- Gas, smoke and burnt powder stay in the barrel where they belong, rather than being channeled into the gun’s mechanism, as they are in gas-operated systems.

STRONG- The strong steel locking lugs on the Inertia Driven® system's rotating bolt head not only lock steel-to-steel into the gun's barrel; the lugs lock in even tighter during firing. 

LOW MAINTENANCE- The Inertia Driven® system is much cleaner, so gun cleaning takes a fraction of the time that it takes to clean a gas-system gun.
