Franchi has always been at the frontline of the light-weight technology as evidenced by the launch of the first aluminum-frame semiauto 48 AL in 1955 and the famous aluminum-frame over and under FALCONET in the late 60s As the 12 gauge semiautomatic shotgun goes below 3 Kg, the challenge of reducing weight becomes harder than ever. Franchi engineers have found new technologies improving the state-of-the-art through the most advanced material engineering and computerised modeling. With the introduction of FAST, Franchi sets a new record providing to you the best in light-weight shotguns.
