Anyone have experience with Franchi affinity semi-auto shotguns ?

Is there any burrs inside the barrel ring section of the forend .from the video it looks like the barrel ring needs to seat a couple more millimeters deeper into the forend to allow the rear of the forend to seat on barrel . Is the barrel channel wide enough to accept the barrel ?

I looked and there isn't anything removable to make the forearm fit better, and even if I could push it further in, the barrel is still too big to fit in the forearm.

Looks like you have a 20 ga forend on a 12 ga barrel???

That could very well be the case...

You bought from Cabela's recently, and so presumably have a receipt. Franchi and Benelli are under Stoeger Canada, and if memory serves me correctly, Franchi has a 7-year warranty on their firearms. Go and register the firearms on the Stoeger Canada/Franchi site (make sure your receipt is digitally scanned as you'll need to upload it and then open up a warranty call on it).

Speaking from experience, Stoeger is great at warranty work in terms of turning it over. Two years ago my new Tikka Tact A1 came with a defective muzzle brake. The retailer wouldn't take it back so I registered the firearm with Stoeger (who does the Tikka work as well) and got the gun to them and they confirmed it was a defective MB and had it back to me in two shakes). I'd encourage you to contact Stoeger after registering your Franchi with them for warranty. I'm pretty certain they'll fix it for you (if you live in the Durham area, you can drop it off, and they can either ship it back to you or you can pick it up) - otherwise your only cost will be shipping it to them once they open up the RMA.

Here's the process: https://www.stoegercanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Franchi-Warranty-Information.pdf

Good to hear about their warranty quality because ima need it. Contacted them earlier this morning. Hopefully I'll hear from them monday.
 
Aight here's an update for anyone that cares.
Stoeger sent me 3 spare forearms. They fit but not without any resistance, I stilll have to push down the tube in it, but nowhere as hard as the original one. Bottom line I assembled the shotgun for the first time, and now I have to take it apart again to clean it from the industriel oil before going shooting.
 
They sent you 3 forearms? Is their quality control so bad and the variations produced so different that they anticipate one in every four forearms will actually fit? If they had 3 spare forearms to send you, I would imagine they had the capability of verifying if they were all made to the same dimensions and if so, what would be the purpose of sending all three.

None of this makes any sense to me.
