PM inbound with a question on the PG stock....

No apologies necessary. And I appreciate all the info I got from these forums in the last few days. Most every question I had, was covered before, so a liitle reading, and I was up to speed. That update on the durability and reliability of your gun is reassuring to say the least, and I dont feel worried at all about my purchase after reading some of the reviews. I do have a little bit of a concern about benellis customer service, considering what the second rep told me, but thankfully it looks like its hardly ever necessary to deal with them. The alternative would be much worse, great customer service ratings, because youre dealing with them all the time:eek:.

It is a nice looking gun, and from most accounts, a GREAT performing gun, and that is the most important thing in my list of priorities, but weapon maintenance in the "field" is an important thing for me too. Not at home on the table, but in the field under less than ideal conditions. If that isnt an issue for you, then it isnt a big deal, but for me, I now have to allow room in an already crowded ruck for a socket, just to field strip the gun. Again, if that isnt an issue for you, consider yourself blessed. For me it is. Not too big of a deal, but just enough that I wish it wasnt set up that way. No big deal, I do like this gun, so I will make the adjustments. I was just venting, no reason to flame.

I appreciate your help. I had called a buddy of mine who told me that may be the issue, and I said "No:eek:, surely benelli wouldnt make a shotgun, that i had to mess with the stock just to field strip" .....but lo and behold, that was it. Design flaw IMO. It now requires that I carry additional tools, just to field strip.

OK, called benellis CS again after trying thier first suggestion and it not working. This time I got a different person who told me I was taking it apart wrong. She then goes on to explain that I need to take off the forend and the bolt before I can remove the trigger assembly. I tell her that is the exact opposite of what the owners manual says, and as I expected it is not even possible to do. So I am stuck at square one. Cant get the triiger assembly off. It seems like something is holding it on, but for the life of me, I cant figure out what. Ive done the steps exactly as the owners manual says. Ive watched 2 videos online where someone demos the disassembly procedure , and in both, take pins out and the trigger group comes right out. ???? Help !!!!!!!

I just got an SNT, and am trying to do an initial field strip for cleaning and familiarization. I am having an issue though... I am following the owners manual step by step, but whatever I do, I cannot get the trigger assembly off. I removed the pins, and according to the directions, the assembly should just lift off. However, mine seems as tightly on, as when the pins are in. I just got off the phone with Benellis CS, who advised me to try pulling the assmebly forward before lifting, but that aint working either. I have the pistol grip stock, if that makes a difference. Any ideas ??? Thanks in advance.

I just got a SNT this past week, and am wanting to put a heat shield on it. Does anyone know of an aftermarket part that would fit, even if it had to be dremel'd a little ??? Thanks in advance. P.S. I did a search, and really only saw references to the M series.
