20 ga Franchi 48 stock?

[DaleCooper51]

I've been looking for a nice used short light 20 ga for a while and happened upon a Franchi 48 Black Magic at the right price. It has a 24" choke tube barrel and a straight grip stock. I'm not a fan of straight grip stocks and figured I could just get a replacement stock so I gave Benelli USA a call to ask about a stock. They gave me the part numbers and told me to give Carlson's a call. I gave them a call and was informed that there is currently an 11 month backlog and at least 30 people on the list in front of me.

Does any one have an idea where I can get a semi-pistol grip stock for a 20 ga Franchi 48?

Any help is appreciated.

Since gunparts is usually out of stock, try here. No checkering but $85 cheaper and available.

Thanks again for the suggestions.

PA4476 unfortunately they are out of 20ga stocks.

Retired Lawman, I gave Jeff a call and they only have them for 12ga. I chatted with him for a few minutes and he seems like a nice guy. He told me the same thing I've heard elsewhere that up until a year or so ago, they were plentiful. Since then they have become hen's teeth.

1k the gentleman for ebay looks like he will be able to help me out. I have to give him a call. He also pointed me to some semi finished stocks from Macon Gun Stocks.

Thanks for the help.
