Franchi Shotgun

Question
Hello Paul, I have a AL48 Franchi 12 guage Blackmagic model (trap special,so I am told). Made by Luigi Franchi s/n U40789. It has a true glow front sight on a 28" vent rib barrel. I cannot find any info on my 12, only info I can find is 20 and 28 guage only, Is this a special edition or custom model. This gun is at the top of my list for my most prized posetions

Answer
The 12 gauge was discontinued in 2002.
