Hello,
I just purchased my first Benelli (SBE) and while I was learning how it worked (loading and unloading), I noticed that the bolt wouldn't completely close if I tried to close it by hand (easing the bolt handle forward to minimize the noise) instead of letting it shut on its own by pressing the carrier button. Should I be concerned or is the bolt supposed to close quickly? I owned an 1100 and an 11-87 auto and got used to closing the bolt by pushing the carrier button and easing the bolt forward to minimize the noise.
