great job on your gun. question: what's the difference between the tactical models of the super nova and nova?

Ok, so in case anyone is interested, the problem appeared to be related to the side saddle I'd installed. I guess when I tightened the 2 screws through the receiver, I tightened them too much. Not sure what it was binding, but when I loosened them a half turn, everything worked fine.

Thanks... that's what I was afraid of... bleah

I am feeling like a complete f-ing idiot.... I'm hoping some of you Nova guru's here will be able to help me out. I bought a used Nova Tactical from a guy and finally got a chance to take it to the range. Since I got it, all I've done is add a 4 round side saddle. Am planning to add a 2 shot extention as well. This is my first pump shotgun, but I figure "how complicated can it be?"... Anyway, I get it to the range, get my target set, load 'er up, aim, squeeze..... and "click"... no boom. Checked the safety, ok, repeat... still no boom. What am I missing??? Is there some sort of internal safety? Would installing the side saddle interfere w/ anything? Ugh. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for the warning...

Thanks for the info. Obviously, I haven't taken it to the range yet. Will run some rounds through it this weekend.

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and new to tactical shotguns so I'm here looking for some info. I recently bought a used Nova 12 ga. tactical model shotgun. It came w/ no papers or manual, so I've been looking at what's available on the Benelli web site and have the manual downloaded. My questions: The locking lever that is forward of the trigger needs to be moved to the rear to work the pump action. Is this necessary for EVERY shot? Seems like a lot of finger manipulation when you may be under stress to fire several shots in a short amount of time. I've never owned a pump before, so maybe it's a standard thing. The magazine is supposed to hold 4 rounds, but only accepts 2, so I assume there is a plug in place. Can that be removed by taking off the magazine end cap? I know I have to keep the magazine spring from flying out, but are there any other precautions and/or techniques to be aware of? How often should the gun be taken apart for a thorough cleaning? Any recommendations for sources with good prices on magazine extentions and recoil reducers? Thanks in advance for your input.
