I just received a photocopy of the 121M1 owners manual from Benelli Customer Service in Italy. I was suprised as I just ordered it last week and it was here already. I have completed extracting only the english portions and will be inserting the poorly photocopied pics and diagrams shortly. As I copied it, I maintained its integrity (as-is) with all of its imperfections. They are masterful in their firearms and wording, but, the spelling and naming conventions leave something to be desired. Because it is a photocopy, a couple of pages (21 & 37) the sentences under the headings Ammunition to be used and Trouble shooting - Recommendations for using the Benelli Automatic shotgun (respectively) have a few letters or words missing. If any of you can/will email me those sections, I would be grateful and will complete those sections. Please let me know if this is something you would like emailed to you and I will forward a copy when completed. Or, let me know

agm65ccip, I appreciate the info.

I did a search for "spacers" and found a diagram posted by Tucker301 of an SBE that answered my question, yet created another. The diagram shows 3: 2, 134G Washers sandwiching a 135G Spring Washer. Are there supposed to be 3 in a 121M1? I have posted pictures to my profile, still can't seem to post them to a message, yet. Thanks to all for looking.

I have been reading these and other (not many) forums about the 121M1, while awaiting delivery of my "Italian Princess". Prior to taking her to the range, I have disassembled her and while removing the forearm two (2) washers fell out. They appear to be spacers, used between the forearm and the lug under the barrel. The inside diameter is the same as the magazine tube and fit neatly into a space at the front of the forearm. One has a bend/curve in it, which I ASSume to give it a spring effect. How do I put these back in? I have photos, but I am unable to post them, yet. Any and all assistance is appreciated.
