Finally got this gun set up. Haven't shot it yet, but can't wait to get it to the range! Franchi affinity 3. 20 gauge, 26" barrel. Dipped in greenleaf. Burris fast fire 3 with a sumtoy base! Right now it's got an Indian creek .555, but I've got a sumtoy .562 ordered! Been wanting a 20 turkey set up for a long time!

Looks Great! Where did you have the gun dipped?

Thank you! I had it dipped at Jays Hydrographics. It's right outside of Birmingham AL. I'm really impressed with how it looks! It's dipped and also sprayed with a clear cerakote.

For sure! One of the best looking dip jobs I've seen.

Jay's did the Original Bottomland dip on my 11-87 20ga a couple weeks ago. 
83% of all statistics are made up.

How much for the dip and clearcoat?

That's a sweet looking rig brutha'!
I came within an inch of buying one and, at the last minute, came to my senses.
I need another gun like I need another ear.
I do like them though. Great design, great mechanics, great shooter...

Thanks!
My wife wasn't too happy about it.... but she forgives fast!

I have one in factory Bottomland. Yours is much nicer! As you have probably seen from posts here, roll crimp shells can be problematic (if too long). That's a turkey slayer!

Yes, I have read about that. I'm hoping they dont have any issues. All the ones I've loaded I've tried manually operating the action and they have all lifted into the chamber. But I'm still going to put some heavy factory lead loads in and make sure they all cycle from the magazine.
