I am looking at getting a Franchi and the guy I am looking to buy it from is saying there is a issue that is preventing the mag tube from feeding does anyone have any idea what the issue might be exactly and a rough cost on what it would cost to fix it?

Could be follower or spring. Why not take a look at it yourself?

You are going to own the hardest kicking shotgun you have ever put to your shoulder...Been there, done that.

Well just was curious before i bought it if it was even worth it.
I have heard it kicks hard but couldn't really pass up the deal for this one and figure if i don't like it after shooting it then I can at least fix it and trade it for something else.

Might just need a good cleaning or a new follower. I've seen a gun do that when the follower was filthy. Or else you can buy a new follower for about $20.

How is the spring? I would also clean the tube anyways. Does the follower have any nicks or sharp edges on it?

They are not hard kickers if the friction rings are set up right.
Don’t roll those bloodshot eyes at me.
