I just purchased my first shotgun (a Montefeltro), however out of the box (I have yet to put a round through it) I am having difficulties pulling back the bolt when the safety is ON. The bolt will slide back easily and normally when the safety is OFF, however with the safety ON, the bolt gets about half way back and meets a lot of resistance. I can push back and forth quite a bit and finally get the bolt back with a good amount of force. I have taken the trigger assembly out, the bolt out and reassembled the gun but it has the same issue. Anyone know what it could be or am I looking at calling Benelli and shipping her back?
