  1. Shooting it around 20 times and having 5 hang ups or ejecting problems.

     

    If 20 times is all that you have shot it I would say you just need to shoot more. Somewhere in the manual it talks about breaking the gun in with some heavy shells. I don't necessarily know that you need heavy loads, but when I first got my M2 it would do similar things as to what you are describing. I took it to the range, put a bit of oil in it, and went through a few rounds of skeet and all was well.

     

    That isn't to say the gun might not have a real issue, but I would put a few more rounds through before calling Benelli CS.

  2. Can someone tell me if this is a common problem or the way the gun was designed?

     

    Well it was certainly not designed to not shoot :p

     

    But in all seriousness it can be a very frustrating problem, the thing I would say is to make sure that the grooves in the "barrel extension" that the bolt rotates into are very clean and you lube the bolt and rails well. I have gotten into the habit of checking if the bolt was fully rotated if I don't release from a full stroke, and just tap on the bolt handle if it isn't all the way in.

  3. Is the M2 fitted with a slug (rifled) barrel? I didn't see where you mentioned that. You mentioned the key-holing and the winchester dual bonds that I have seen were sabot slugs so I thought I would just cover all the bases.

     

    Anyway I have shot a few slugs from my M2 (12 ga) and got decent performance from Remington's Buckhammer slugs. I have a smooth barrel and a rifled choke tube.

  4. He stated agents know the quality of an Italian made part vs a knock off version of American made. Then we all laughed.

     

    Well with carriercomp making top quality stuff you guys are still screwed :p

     

    Agent: "Your M4 does not comply with 922®"

    You: "No way, I have replaced all these parts, look at that mag tube!"

    Agent: "Yeah, that is way too good to be American made..."

    You: *sigh...

  5. i have a sbe1 and it mis fires or the famous bennelli click more than it fires right, is there an upgrade,fix.somthing

    i have just delt with it for years but i finnally had a enough

    i know this is a problem with SBE2, AND SBE1 just check other forums

    any help would be appreciated

     

    How old is the gun? If it is an older gun you might clean the recoil tube/replace the spring so it has more power throwing the bolt carrier forward.

     

    Otherwise, or in any case always, make sure the rails inside the receiver are clean and lubed and make sure the grooves on the "barrel extension" are clean and lubed.

  6. It is mainly for home defense but I also want to be able to go shoot dove and other various game with my friends. My question is if I buy a M2 can I buy a round extension to hold more rounds, or if I buy a m4 is there a plug that can limit it to 2 rounds to comply with game laws and if so how big of a pain in the ass is it to convert between the 2 ( will I need a specialist to do it or can I do it at home).

     

    Since you say it is mostly for HD I'd say the m4 is more suited to that task. Not that the M2 couldn't handle it but if you were talking a field version that 28" barrel is a bit long unless you are going to be sitting in your HD plan.

     

    As far as the tubes, the M2 has several extensions available, that should be no issue. If you went with the M4 it would be easy to throw a proper length dowel rod in the magazine tube to bring you into compliance.

  7. I bought a used gun and the previous owner has threaded rod in place of the factory trigger pins, can i get these factory direct or do i need to go through a dealer? :confused:

     

    Call/e-mail benelli CS and explain what you just told us (with more detail and part numbers) and they might just send you some.

     

    A while back I noticed the threaded end of my recoil tube was getting stripped (or had been put on wrong) and so I e-mailed them and asked how much something like that would cost, and the CS rep just asked for my address to mail it to me.

  8. I shelled out $1,500 big ones (w/taxes) for this revolutionary lightweight injection molded piece of plastic, 6.8 lb, modular designed, work of field grade gun art and the Benelli service agent tells me to aim freaking low? (I was incredulous and thought – REALLY? Are you serious)?

     

    Yes she is serious, look at the rib on the gun. It starts out high toward you and then is down to nothing at the bead. Think about what would happen if the rib was level...the barrel would be angled up slightly. Now take a look at your favorite Remington or whatever, the rib is probably pretty close to the same height start to finish.

     

    So your choices are pretty much the following: change the shims, aim differently, make the front sight higher, or get a different gun. Not trying to be a jerk but that is pretty much the size of it. Personally, I adjusted to aiming a little lower, wasn't that difficult for me but if that is the way you have been shooting forever I can understand how it would be hard to change gears.

  9. Would Benelli take a look at this through warranty? I am the original owner.

     

    I think they would, I seem to recall another member here having a similar issue and Benelli took it back and returned the gun in better order. That said it did take them a few weeks if I remember right.

     

    Either way it would not hurt anything if you called/emailed customer support and see what they had to say.

  10. Pumps work despite what you may think,

     

    I don't think he was saying they don't work.

     

    (Police and Swat teams prefer them over autos when the SHTF so what does that tell you ?)

     

    That police and swat use beanbag/teargas and other low power rounds that it would be difficult to build an auto with enough range to handle at the same time as high-power rounds.

     

    But if you wanted to use examples the military prefers semi-auto rifles, semi-auto pistols, and semi-auto shotguns what does that tell you :p

     

     

    their sales numbers speak for themselves..

     

    They are really cheap, make them the same price as autos and I think the numbers would level out.

     

    Some folks prefer pumps, some prefer O/U's, some prefer autos...each are merely a tool we use and each have thier pros and cons..the most important part is that we use these tools proficiently whatever they may be.

     

    Agreed. :)

  11. This is absolutely, positively, a matter of personal preference.

     

    I agree with tim on this one, it is completely up to your preference/experience.

     

    That said I prefer semi-autos above all else. I have an M2 and I can count the number of malfunctions outside of the initial break in on one hand. Also I think it helps me "concentrate" more on shooting than on thinking "hmm I'm pretty sure I didn't short stroke...I guess we'll see..."

     

    Plus I'm an engineer so the "how" a semi auto works is interesting to me :p

  12. Do not store the empty weapon cocked with a spring under tension for who knows how long. This will definately shorten the lifespan of the spring. Right?

     

    If you wanted to get technical even after dry-firing the hammer spring is still under "tension" (it's really compression but whatever) because the spring is still stopped from expanding to its full length by the spring cap. That coupled with the discussion referred to by hognutz to me you are going through a lot of mental anguish and not even solving the problem you are concerned about.

     

    Personally I don't dry fire for storage. I figured that if the spring does wear out I have had nothing but excellent response from Benelli CS and they would probably send me a new one for just asking...

  13. I will, just need to get to 5 posts before they allow me to provide pictures. Thanks

     

    Psst...they don't need to be "real" posts...just post in this thread until you get enough.

     

    I had my M2 apart today and didn't notice what you were talking about perzactly so I'd be interested in pictures as well.

  14. These shells are 1 ounce loads and 3 1/4 dram. I would like to use these cheep loads, but I have never tried them. I was under the impression that my SBE II would jam if I tried them, but maybe I should try them out and see.

     

    Definitely try them out. My M2 does 1oz 2 3/4 dram without any issues when trapping/skeeting. Though as the others have mentioned I would put a bit of oil on the rails, etc if you haven't been shooting it a lot before.

  15. It may be just me and because I have never owned a Benelli (glad to say i do now). The loading instructions in the manual seem to be confusing with the idea that anyone would want to pull the bolt back and without it in the locked open position try to feed in a shell to the chamber with the other hand all while trying to hold the gun safely.

     

    Notice in the manual they say to load the magazine first, I would imagine this is to avoid telling you to put a round in the chamber and then continue to load it. Depending on how big of a safety stickler you are you might consider that to be "dangerous".

     

    As everyone else said, I load it the way you described, have loaded every shotgun I have shot that way, never killed anyone yet...

  16. Have you tried the shells in question without changing your gun?

     

    There are several people here that have had no problems with lighter loads in their guns. You might see if you have problems before you go and buy new parts.

  17. An al follower has less mass therefore less inertia, making for a quicker action over a ss follower.

     

    Technically yes, but unless the the difference was huge I think the inertia of that stack of shells the follower is pushing would matter much more, and after all the number crunching the difference would be maybe 1ms.

     

    Unless you need a US made one for some parts count ******** the factory one is fine.

     

    Agreed, unless you are going for 922r or you are having problems with your follower I don't think a new follower is going to help any performance-wise.

  18. Good lord.

     

    The guy that runs box o truth is well respected by people whose opinion I respect ... but in this case, I'd say for sure to skip the tampons and WD40, to buy a bottle of dedicated gun lube, and call it a day.

     

    Please, if you take one thing from this forum regarding M4s ... Lube is 10000000x more important that removing all the "evil black stuff" from your gun. Anyone who says otherwise is either brainwashed or retarded. It's like comparing a wax job to an oil change when it comes to keeping your car running. One makes you feeeeeel good, the other actually keeps your machine running.

     

    THIS

     

    Now Domonlord you might be a little OCD (like me) and want to get your gun shiny clean each time, but when it comes to cleaning there is a big difference between HAVE TO and WANT TO.

     

    As Duggan said you really need a dedicated gun lube, WD-40 is great for a lot of things but I don't think guns is one of them. You can also get a powder solvent for cleaning up the choke tubes and other areas where carbon/powder builds up.

     

    Also echoing Duggan, dump the tampons. If you really are looking for something to do the same job but better go with something like these: Bore Mops

     

    Otherwise we might see you in the next toughguy fail...

  19. If you wanted to go aftermarket Brileys or Carlson's, or any other manufacturer really, should have extended chokes that either have a colored band or laser etching or both on the part that sticks past the barrel.

     

    If you don't want to do that I would pick a choke before you go out to the blind and stick with it or ask one of your buddies to help you out.
