We solved the problem thanks to your suggestion, thanks for taking the time, much appreciated! Regards

I sent my M3 back to be fixed (Free Warranty work). It was returned fixed, but no repair explanation was given. To me "it seemed" like the bolt was caching on something it would stick just a bit, but after the repair the bolt working smoothly. Now the M3 will cycle with very heavy turkey loads. I have not found any 00BUCK loads heavy enough to cycle, but I only tried what my local store had. If you have a specific brand of 00Buck shells that work in your M3, please let me know. I would like to try them in my M3.

We're all human Dave. Glad you found your problem and happy to help; load 'em up my friend!

Yep, and sounds like I've got newbie egg all over my face! (lol!) My Ignorance couldn't be helped: bought the gun online and as it was advertised as 5-rnd mag, I just assumed it was. Limiter, huh? You mean that long stick-thingy? DOAH! I found that in my search of Benelli Parts and sure enough, there it was in my magazine! Thanks for your input, Street! Regards~! S

Curious, did you solve this problem? Warranty return. I'm sure other M3 owners, like myself, would want to know how, or if you solved this cycling prob.

Sounds like you have a limiter in your tube.

I'll throw in my two cents here, which are worth what you pay for them. I had to make a leap, of faith to trust an autoloading shotgun for a defensive weapon. I just didn't trust them. Then I got an interest in them and started looking with the Mossberg 930. Not reliable enough for me. Looked at the Beretta, Remington and others. Didn't know much about shotgun's when I started, nothing about Benellis. The cost of the guns went up as I continued looking. I noticed everything was being compared to the M-4. That was the benchmark everyone was trying to achieve. Light went on in my head after some time, just buck up and get a Benelli and be done with it. That's what I did. I'm confused why anyone would consider a Benelli knockoff that had videos like these that show function issues. I certainly get why someone would want a Benelli at one third the cost. But that's not what you have here. You have Turkish knockoffs with obvious issues that affect functioning. I don't understand wasting time and money on junk. After watching the videos near the beginning of the AR15 thread, I would consider that gun junk, and I can't even put into words what my thinking on the metallurgy of those guns is. I can't reconcile the idea that if you have $500-$600 to throw away on junk, that you wouldn't have $1800 to put down on something good. Because it is the throwing away of $600 part that I am not getting. I understand that $1800 or so is a lot of money. It's tossing $600 down a rathole I don't understand The whole premise of these clones is that Benelli is WAY overcharging for their weapons. WAY overcharging. That Benelli is selling a $600 gun for $1800. If that were true, someone would have knocked off Benelli a long time ago. I know most Forums don't like you to try to sell stuff in someone else's thread but I have a really nice Porsha GToo Arr Esss that I am putting up for sale. Made in Shenzhen, works just like the real deal. Only asking 80,000 for it. Yen that is... Call me at BR-549 BR-549
