Well my son took my Benelli to shoot clays and noticed a clanky sound. I determined it is coming from bolt assembly and disassembled to clean and inspect.
I noticed about 3/16” approximately of play between the bolt recoil spring and bolt locking head, which is making the “clanky” noise when gun is moved around. This occurs when the bolt is both open and in closed positions.
Is this normal? Did I just not notice before, I couldn’t say. Does this indicate a worn spring or some sort of issue?
