  1. The main reason I have cleaned it twice was because the rifled barrel was covered with fouling right out of the box. So I cleaned it up and just continued cleaning the rest. I've always heard to clean a new gun before taking it out. As for the second cleaning, well that was after the first time I experience a "stuck" s****. I figured I may not have gotten it lubricated enough.

     

    As for my cleaning procedures - it is what I've been taught by my father in law. I'm open to suggestions if you are willing to share. I am trying to learn which is why I posted a thread on the forum. There is a lot of good advice to be had in here and honestly I was hoping that someone had experience something similar and could point to a fix rather than sending it in. That is all.

  2. Thanks Tucker. They were excellent to deal with on the phoen today. Said they should have it back to me in 3 weeks.

     

    Contrary to what some folks seems to have assumed by my post, I am not knocking my Nova. I really like it. I don't regret getting it at all. Once I got it sighted it with my red dot, I was drilling bulls from 50 yards. I love the way it feels and can't wait to get it back.

  3. Thanks for the support - especially for new user. Especially you hogwild. So supportive.

     

    By the way Benelli rep said that there is nothing that I could be doing and that I need to send it in. There is no way that it should be sticking like that.

     

    Tucker - thanks for the advice on the Rem Oil. I actually had read that somewhere in between cleaning which is why I switched to Breakfree.

  4. I'll be the first to admit that I may have done something wrong, but I did follow the direction for disassembly and reassembly and it did work for about 9 s****s prior to the first jam. I would think that if was something that I did it would not have worked at all. No rust at all that I can notice.

     

    The initial cleaning I used Rem oil on the trigger assembly and blew dry with compressed air. Then used Hoppe's lubricant lightly and wiped clean. Same with the firing pin and extractor. Used bore scrubber on the barrel and a bore snake to clean. Ran it through three times. Sprayed with Rem oil and ran 3 patches through then ran 1 lightly oil patch through.

     

    Second cleaning - I repeated the process except I used Breakfree CLP as the cleaner for the trigger assembly and the extractor. On the barrel I used bore scrubber and a mop then a bronze brush then the bore snake. Then several patches until it was clean then a patch of Hoppes lube.

     

    I did do a search and seems other have had the same problem but none of the posts had a resolution. I guess I'll call today.

  5. I have to admit first of all that this is my first shotgun - parden me if my terminology is not correct.

     

    First things first, I did field strip and clean the shotgun and both barrels prior to using.

     

    I've been out test firing my Nove 12 ga. I have the 26" VR field barrel and the 24" rifled barrel. I shot 10 s****s of 2 3/4 Remington Slugger without a problem. I loaded a 2 3/4 Winchester Super X Slug, fired, went to cycle and the gun was locked up. This was withthe field barrel. It was getting dark at the range so I brought it home and set to work. Finally, I was able to hold the button on the bottom of the pump and pull with both hands and get the s**** casing to release. I then proceeded to field strip and clean the gun. I figured it was an ammo issue.

     

    I went back to the range today with the rifled barrel attached. I shot about 8 2 3/4 Remington Slugs and it locked again. This time I was experienced and extracted the s**** the same as yesterday. I cycled the action a few time and it didn't stick so I put in some Remington 3" slugs and shot about 4 rounds and it stuck again. I cleared and cycled again. Then I shot some Sabots and made it through 2 3" Remingtons (no prob), 2 2 3/4" Lightspeed (no problem), 1 3" federal then it stuck again. I cleared and changed to the field barrel. I shot about 5 2 3/3" K.O. without problem.

     

    It seems to that after about 7-9 round I has this problem. It doesn't seem to be particular to ammo any longer. Am i not lubricating something enough? Is this something that needs to brought to the attention of Benelli customer service?

     

    And yes my should hurts like heck after about 25 round today in about an hour and a half!

  6. Well I went to my local gun shop to check out the selections and I ended up getting the Benelli Nova Combo. I just liked the feel a bit more than the Remington and I also liked the location of the action release better. Plus with the price of the combo I was able to get the cantilever fully rifled barrel for about $70 cheaper than it would have cost me to get the Nova and the barrel separately.

     

    I get to pick it up tomorrow - just in time for an unual December warm up in Illinois. Into the 50s so hopefully I'll get it the range sooner rather than later.

     

    Thank you to everyone for the advice. It was much appreciated!

  7. I am looking for my first shotgun purchase. I'm not looking to spend alot

     

    I've narrowed my selections down and would liek to what opinions are and which may be the better overall gun.

     

    Benelli Nova; Stoeger 2000; Mossberg 500; Remington 870

     

    All three have combo packs that offer a cantilever fully rifled barrel. I'm looking for a 12 guage.

     

    Thanks.
