Took the Benelli to the range today and both the shotgun and extension worked perfectly. I am used to shooting traditional stock (non-pistol grip) shotguns and absolutely love the added control the pistol grip gives me. Mine did not have the large white logo on the side, and actually doesn't have a logo on it anywhere. IMO it looks very nice; it is about the same black color as the rest of the Super Nova metal parts, but is a little lighter in color and not quite as shiny. Regards, AmicusCuriae

After much consideration, I went with the Nordic +2 tube which I installed yesterday evening. I am happy to report that I can actually fit seven 2 3/4" shells into my magazine tube! It cycled 100% of the time when I tested it last night and I am going to take it to the range today to see how it performs. Thanks for all your help, AmicusCuriae

How much lube do you use? Is there any place in particular that needs heavier lube? Any place where I should not lube at all?

Hello all, I recieved a Super Nova tactical for Christmas and it is my first personally owned shotgun. I have used shotguns extensively at work, but I have never been responsible for maintaining a shotgun before and I would like your advise on your cleaning/lubricating/maintaining routine. Specifically, what do you clean every time you shoot, other than the barrel? How often do you detail strip your shotgun? Where and how much do you lubricate your shotgun? Any advise you could share would be greatly appreciated. Regards, AmicusCuriae

Hello all, I am looking for a magazine tube extension for my Benelli Supernova tactical (18.5" barrel). I am first and foremost looking for an extension that will be 100% reliable and won't have any issues with cycling or staying attached to the magazine tube. I also want an extension that won't stick out past the end of the barrel beyond 1/4" or so, and I want maximum capacity. I have looked at some of the options out there (Tac-Star, Nordic, Choate, etc.) and can't seem to find one that is exactly what I am looking for. It sounds like the Nordic extension is the most reliable, but is only +2 while the other ones seem to be hit or miss with reliablity but have the +3 capacity I would prefer. What do you recommend and why? Thanks, AmicusCuriae

I called Benelli customer service today about this issue. They were great to deal with and are sending me a new cap so hopefully that will resolve things. Thanks to everyone for their replies. Regards, AmicusCuriae

I think you are misunderstanding what part I am referring to. When I say magazine cap, I am talking about the screw on cap that goes on the end of the magazine that holds the barrel assembly in place. The Benelli literature calls it a magazine cap, but I don't know if that is what it is referred to in common parlance. The barrel sheath is the little hard plastic covering that is clipped onto the barrel when you open up a new SuperNova. There are all sorts of warnings to remove it before firing the shotgun, but no reference at all to what its use may be. Thanks, AmicusCuriae

Hello all, I am the proud new owner of a Benelli SuperNova tactical that I got for Christmas. I have a lot of experience using shotguns at work, but this is my first personally owned shotgun. A couple question for those you who have one: First, the magazine tube cap is incredibly difficult for me to remove when the barrel is attached (I actually had to use pliers to remove it). Is this normal? Is there some trick to it that I am missing? Second, what the heck is the plastic barrel sheath for? Thanks, AmicusCuriae
