  1. It's the M90, and the shell is 3" 1-1/8oz #4. The 3" stuff will cycle in a 3-1/2" gun with no problem, dont know if they had an issue with the 3-1/2" stuff not cycling in a 3-1/2" gun though.
  2. Finally, in a love/hate fest about the Nova vs the 500 I found the one post and this is the comment: "I've heard that Bennelli's repair department is swamped with Nova's coming in for warranty/repairs these days but haven't checked it out to be sure if it's true. might be worth checking into before buying one though." Now the whole post, note the first sentance. Lots of speculation and unfounded claims on the part of Nova owners here as usual. The fact remains that the Nova has not been subjected to and survived the punishing military tests that the Mossberg has. Tests that involved alot more than the well known 3000 round buckshot marathon and included, drop tests, freezing,submerging the gun in mud/sand and a bunch more. Abusive Tests that the Mossberg came up from shooting every time. The Nova hasn't survived 42 years in the civilian marketplace like the Mossberg has. And the Nova hasn't been around long enough to know how it will hold up over the long haul like the Mossberg's have either. I've heard that Bennelli's repair department is swamped with Nova's coming in for warranty/repairs these days but haven't checked it out to be sure if it's true. might be worth checking into before buying one though.
  3. I tried a box of the hevisteel by Hevishot and it would not fully cycle the round out of the magazine after firing the one in the chamber. Called Hevishot from the pit in AR and spoke with a very nice lady that informed me that the shells were made to the upper end of the samsi specs and the beretta/benelli guns were made at the other end of the specs. So, currently the shells will not cycle in the guns as they are a tad too long. They will fire and eject the spent hull. She offered to send me some replacement hevishot.
  4. http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewforum.php?f=61 Thats a link to our Benelli forum and although I didnt read every post, there sure wasnt one that mentioned nova nor recalls as a headline. Several happy customers, me included.
