Pin lives in a hole in the mag tube ring of the barrel. (2) There is a detent pin for the magazine cap. There are only two nits I have with the Affinity: (1) The recoil pad has a dogleg in it, so it is pretty much custom ($56 for pad and insert to change LOP) as they don't sell spacers. Comes with a shim kit if you want to adjust drop and cast. The plain-jane Affinity is $699 and $100 more for the fancy camo.
I don't see the need for a 12 gauge when you say "upland". I own one and it is a sweet shooting pop gun. Personally, I would go with the Franchi Affinity in 20 gauge. If anyone has an opinion on these two models or other models I should consider please let me know. I am not sure how this would effect my shooting from one gun to the other. One thing I did notice on shouldering the Montefeltro is that I am literally just staring at the bead (no rib visible when I shoulder and aim) When I shoulder and aim the Franchi a tiny bit of the rib is visible. The Franchi feels a bit nicer in the hand IMO though. Both guns are lightweight and shoulder nicely. Two guns that really stood out for me were the Benelli Montefeltro 20g and the Franchi Instinct L 20g. My budget is around $1000 give or take and either a 12g or 20g. My local gun shop was very helpful and patient today and let me handle a bunch of really nice guns. I would be using this gun on Pheasants,Woodcock and Grouse. I decided since I will be turning 40 this year and I actually have some money available that I would treat myself to a new upland gun. They were sold when my kids were born and I've been hunting with some old beaters for the past ten years. I haven't owned a nice shotgun in a long time.
