leupold 90

Thanks very much for the information. I have been shooting the gun at least once a week since with no problems. Lack of lubrication was definitely the cause of my troubles! Like I said, Lesson learnt!! Cheers guys.

Think I have my problem sorted! Brought the gun to a friend who has alot of shooting experience. After taking down the gun he felt it must be a lubrication problem as there was nothing else obviously wrong. He copiously greased the internals of the bolt, and used M-Pro 7 oil on the slide rails. It has made a marked difference to the gun, it now cycles 1 1/8 loads consistently and 7/8 ounce most of the time. Lesson

Thanks for the advice. I'm seriously thinking about changing to a Beretta A391, at least it will handle light loads for clay busting, and for practical shooting an 870. I do like the Benelli shotguns but from reading this and other forums they seem to be susceptible to feeding problems. Some shooters however, appear to love them and enjoy trouble free shooting. Anyway, no matter what we shoot lets hope we enjoy the health to convert our hard earned money into loud bangs!!

Having similar problems with my M3s90. FTE's I find are caused by using ammo that is not powerful enough to cycle the action, for my gun thats anything less than a 34g shell. I'm getting alot of FTF's also and I really don't know whats causing them..

After firing two shots at clays I close the bolt, load two new ones into the mag, and then cycle the bolt to chamber one (leaving one in the mag). Seems to me that the bolt is not closing fully when I push the carrier release button. So I wonder is this a problem with the recoil spring? I prefer to shoot semi auto but find I have to switch the gun to pump to make sure it works.

Hi all I live in Ireland and am one of the lucky ones to have a Benelli M3S90. I use the gun for practical shooting and occassional clays. I am having a recurring problem of getting a 'click' instead of a 'bang' when I pull the trigger. This happens most often when shooting clays. When I have fired my second shot and the bolt locks open, I close the bolt, put two shells in the magazine, cycle the bolt to chamber a round and await my turn to fire.. Frequently when I pull the trigger CLICK! Quickly ejecting the round and feeding the second generally results in a second click!? What am I doing wrong? Is it the gun or me? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
