I'll check the geein' and hawin' then! I pulled the trigger group again and reassembled. Then I took it to the range and ran a couple of boxes through it and I can't get the problem to return. I'd almost rather have a specific intervention/fix and a specific change (but maybe taking the trigger group out was just that?). Right now it works, but the chance of a ghost malfunction will be in the back of my mind.

I've had my M2 for a couple of years and it's been a great 3 gun shotgun. It has served me well with few if any malfunctions. Today while I was practicing my shotgun speed reloads (with dummy rounds) my M2 started randomly locking the shell lifter as if the cartridge drop lever had been depressed. I'm just loading dummy rounds into the tube. The bolt is closed. When I start loading dummy rounds sometimes after the first round is loaded, sometimes after the third, etc., there is a "click" and shell lifter is locked. To remedy I hit the bolt release button and resume reloading. Details: CRUMs welded lifter recently cleaned the bolt (wiped down, but not oiled) Any ideas? Thanks in advance. PS - I posted this on another forum but thought I'd try here too

I posted in the shotgun sports forum and thought it might get a faster answer here. On an M2 is the nut removal to access the recoil spring just a simple "force it" deal, or do I need to heat to release locktite? Thanks. http://www.benelliusa.com/forum/forumdisplay.php/27-Shotgun-Sports Sendit

I've searched a few times and can see discussions regarding SBE recoil spring removal, the change to nylon hardware, heating, etc. I can't seem to find the same discussion for the M2. Is removal of the nut that retains the M2 recoil spring a simple matter of using some force? Or does it need to be heated? Is there locktite on there from the factory? Thank you.
