I haven't had the stock apart since I've gotten the gun, but I have had everything else torn down. I accidently used Remmington lubricating oil the last time I cleaned it. I recleaned & lightly oiled it & yesterday while shooting it I had only 1 shell fail to chamber & that was the last one on the first 7 I shot. After that I didn't have any problems. I really appreciate your tidbits & comments, thanks a bunch!

I am 95% sure I overlubricated my gun & when hunting this weekend it wouldn't chamber the shells properly all the time. I have an extended mag & several times I quick fired 5-6 shells through it & it worked great. Only when I had deer running in front of me did it mess up!! Talk about tick a person off! I finally had to quit using it as I had to manually jack every shell. The gun had messed up before with the regular mag. on it, but it was cooler weather outside then too, not like this weekend though. What's the odds against this being my problem? It has been recleaned & lightly lubed & will be shot either today or tomorrow with fingers crossed. I read an earlier post about Bennelli not being that good in the customer service/repair department, I've never talked to them. Thanks

how do you like the Hi Viz sites? I need something for my 20 ga. Advantage Timber Benelli. I am also looking at some Tru Glo sites. Where can a person go to get a scope & mount setup in camo?

I purchased an M1 super90 20 ga. in Jan., black finish. Took it home, shot it, gun messed up royally! Wouldn't chamber 2nd round, then it hung up in the bolt assembly, i.e. bolt action stayed locked back & short of me wanting to slam it to the ground, you had a heck of a time getting it unstuck. Was cleaning it, thinking that was the problem & the machined BB that is under the magazine cap came flying out along with this teeny weeny spring. Gun went back to dealer & the knott head sent it to his machinist, not back to Benelli, (probably voiding my warranty). They got the BB back in, scratching the gun in the process & said the jamming was fixed. I picked it up & had it jammed in 2 seconds flat, didn't have to fire it. Boy was I pissed! The dealer then got out a brand spanking new still in the box Advantage Timber 20 ga. to compare it to mine. I liked the looks of this gun, so I traded him, along with some more money of course. Took it out, shot 5 shells through it & heard a rattling noise, the magazine cap swivel had broken off & went into the gun magazine!! To say I was upset doesn't begin to cover it. Do you know how he fixed my cap?!? He put a split type ring washer on it! This cap matches my gun right down to the brush stroke, so I really wanna keep it. I think the swivel's going to come off again the way he has it set up. Can this particular cap be fixed properly, anybody know? Oh and when I was shooting it the other day, it starting failing to chamber the 2nd or 3rd shell. ARGH!! Maybe I was weeny arming it, not sure. I also wanna know if anybody else hears a noise when you shake your gun up & down, either with the chamber open or closed? Mine is worse when it's open. Sounds like the spring in the bolt action assembly, is that normal? I love the gun, but jeez, how much crap does a person have to put up with? Brand new & for the moola it cost it shouldn't have ANY problems! My husband has an M1 Super90 12 ga. & had no problems with it. He's also told me not to touch his gun, I'm a jinx!!! Thanks for any input & help.

Whoops! I accidentially reposted a message, sorry about that! Don't know what I'm doing yet.
