Has Benelli fixed the rattling forearm on the regular Nova pump for 2007?

So does anybody know if Benelli has fixed the rattling forearm on regular Nova pumps manufactured in 2007 and beyond?

Thanks for the informative reply OLTD2 If the Nova forearms rattles, and people seem to find it annoying enough to complain, why hasn't Benelli gone and fixed it like they did on the SuperNova? Isn't it just a matter of tightening the screws? I thought the Nova and Supernova were identical in L.O.P. and all other physical features except for the stock and bigger trigger guard. So are you saying that for a smaller person like me (5'8"/ 146 lbs) that I would find the Nova more comfortable to shoulder? When I shouldered the Supernova, it felt like the grip and stock was indeed wider or bigger than the Nova. And lastly, how does the Remington 870 Express Magnum compare to the Nova. I shouldered one a few days ago, and it felt narrower than the Nova.

As a newbie to shotguns I have a few questions: When shooting 2 3/4' shells, does the regular Nova's butt pad sufficiently reduce recoil? How about for 3"? I probably won't be shooting too many 3 1/2" loads so I was wondering if the regular Nova will suffice for regular and magnum loads. Also, has Benelli fixed the rattling forearm on the Nova? I hear that you can just tighten the screws on the forearm, but does this just reduce the rattle.. or does it eliminate it?

By the way, when ejecting a spent shell from the SuperNova, does the shell fly out and fowards and not backwards? Just curious since then I don't have to worry about shells flying into me if I'm shooting left-handed.

Thanks AndyUK I actually have a question regarding the Drop and Cast adjustment and the deflection stuff. What exactly is it? I'm real new at this

Hey All, I'm left-handed and I'm interested in buying the SuperNova. I know that the safety can be switched to the leftside, but I am curious whether the action release button can also be switched by a gunsmith/Benelli CS. If not, is it still pretty easy to operate the action release by reaching under the trigger guard with the left hand and pushing it up? Also, can somebody explain exactly how the button on the underside of the fore-end activates the shell stop that allows the chambered round to be removed without releasing the rest of the rounds from the magazine? Thanks
