good gun but the Affinity is lighter and has an operating system that has proven to be more durable in high volume shooting. Most people won't ever shoot either one enough to make a difference.

All good advice^^^^

I was taught to measure the LOP for shotguns by placing the butt of the gun in the crease of your arm where your bicep meets your forearm, the palm swell should mate with your hand in a natural position. If the palm swell is on your palm or wrist it's to short, if it's on your fingers it's to long.

A good break-in period should get the job done. My M1 wouldn't cycle 7/8 loads either until I read the owner's manual again and put it through a break-in period of 3 boxes of heavy field loads. It will now cycle them fine.

Decided to try the reduced recoil loads today in my franchi since I put the o ring in. Budda! Dude I'm telling you, $2.50 well spent

Update for all of you. We went and shot some skeet. Turner's gun did great (with him shooting it) with hotter, 1 oz/1250 fps loads like we dove hunt with. After shooting a couple boxes of them, we went back to some 7/8 oz/1200 fps loads and it cycled them like butter for him as well. I think just breaking the spring in a little more was the trick.
