Posting from the range. Turns out it was the handguard causing the issues. Cycles and shoots no problem. I also emailed benelli before I went and they offered to look at the weapon which was nice. Fortunately I tested it first. Kudos to strangerdanger and everyone else for the help.
I think your comment about the handguard might be the root of the problem. It's a fab defense bm4 and it was so damn hard to put this handguard on, I had to basically squeeze the two halves together and throw in the screws as fast as I could for the two halves to come together. The barrel may not have been as flush as it should be. Comments online for this handguard are less than stellar.. but I got it for free hehe
Good question... it was sold to me as an h2o along with the box but I dont remember if there are papers inside. Any serial numbers I can look for? It was a decent deal.1200 for h2o with extended tube, metal saddle thing for shells, surefire light and pressure pad, foregrip, and trigger (didn't install). I've seen better deals though for a similar price. Just saying he probably wasn't trying to scam me haha. If only it had a telescoping stock
I can message the person but it's been a while and I took the barrel off the m4 once to put on a forend so it could be my fault. Regardless, I have to fix it ?
Off the top of my head I think the Fiocchi was 1200fps and 1275fps? Maybe 1300? Not sure if that's considered full power. I didn't load a single round... I'll be sure to do that next time on the range.
There was a good 5 seconds between trigger pulls so I'm not outrunning anything I hope
Thanks, this is exactly what I needed. Gonna clean her up and go through this checklist. Will report back visual checks tomorrow. Probably going up to the range soon after.
I did not because I just assumed benellis were reliable T_T
I don't know how the action works and I don't know what the parts look like. I had to open her up to put on a handguard (forend?) tho (given to me by the seller).
I was firing Fiocchi target shot and buck. Both cycled but would not fire without pulling back the charging handle.
Did not clean or lube, that's on my to-do list.
I dunno too much about the innards of the Benelli but surely I can fix it myself? Is the follower part of the trigger group? I can attempt a fix and simultaneously make some upgrades at the same time. Just need some guidance.
Hello. I have a benelli M4 h2o edition that will fire the first round, feed the second, then not fire the next round. I have to pull the charging handle back if I want it to shoot. Any ideas why?
