    Since there have been many different models made by Franchi in 20-guage, in order to get the information you are seeking, you will need to describe the shotgun more completely. Start by describing the action type (semi-automatic long recoil, semi-automatic gas, over-and-under, side-by-side, etc.) and anything else significant about the shotgun. The model number is usually the single most important fact to post when seeking information. Asking about a Franchi 20-guage is kind of like asking about parts for a "Ford car," a lot too general. My guess is that you are inquiring about a Model AL48 long-recoil semi-automatic, for which parts can be purchased from the current importer (Benelli USA) or on the used market. (The AL48 shotguns have been imported for decades.) I have an older AL48 20-guage that has the mahogony stock (mahogony is lighter than walnut and was used for that reason in earlier versions) and it weighs just an ounce or so over 5 pounds. I would not hunt with anything else where I had to walk and carry the shotgun. Love it.
