littman,I had that problem with my M1 super 90 Tactical when it was new,if the headbolt is not giving positive lockup, no insert.Break in time and staying lubricated was my cure,if not,start toubleshooting,good luck M1014 [ August 02, 2003, 06:37 AM: Message edited by: M1014 ]

duv,it does work,I had to read and practice it alot,because its easier on some Benellis than others.Try using your middle finger, press the carrier latch on several of the most foward spots and you should see and feel the most movent of the carrier latch,and that will be when the shells start comming out.Check for movement when the firearm is empty then go for it,Saftey First,seeya M1014

homeinvader,good idea,I put my M1014&m1 super 90 side by side and noticed the recievers are shaped differently ,especialy at the rear,doesn't look like the pistol grip will match up evenly with the M1 or if it will even slide up all the way.A recoil spring tube interchange would be neccessary to even try this and thats if the interchange is possible.Looking at my factory manuals,it looks tricky but not impossible.good luck M1014

Gentlemen,your point is well taken,thanks for the website address,I installed the mag tube extension with the same spring also, works like a charm.The manual is very important ,the person you bought the firearm from may have found it by now.I also have pics I would like to show of the Benelli family.Saftey First,M1014

hey RED3171,A sling or groceries this week? hmmmm,tough choice, just kidding man.I'll have to wait on a sling myself.Right before you got on this forum this question was brought up on the same firearm,I can't seem to locate it,ask around, shop the internet,read about it in the mags,by the way Guns and Weapons oct 2003 has an article our baby. Good Day to Ya, M1014

RED3171,the choke is a modified,with the extra thick heavyduty military barrel,you can shoot slugs through that barrel,it won't hurt anything.I know that in the future the m4s will be out with interchangable choke barrels and thats when the barrel will probably be offerred seperately.Definetly get the owners manual, one way or another get it.Enjoy the finest shotgun produced,you won''t be disappointed.seeya M1014

hey WORLDEATER,there is alot of good recomended shotgun books out there.The book titled "Shotgun Encyclopedia"will answer your questions on terms ,such as drop of the heel,length of the pull,choke sizes , it will tell you how to desipher the factory markings on your barrel and on your your reciever with illustrations and pics.seeya M1014

Greetings from Florida,your new site is great.My buddy and I own two Benelli shotguns each,love'm,1-practical,1-tactical,and two M1014s.take it easy M1014 [ July 06, 2003, 05:22 PM: Message edited by: M1014 ]
