Hello all, just registered on the site, and I am writing to ask about a problem with my M3 shotgun. ( I used the Benelli factory website help and haven't heard back)
My M3 functions flawlessly on semi-auto, but when switched to pump action, it fails to discharge when the trigger is pulled -
- it will load and chamber a round (pump action)
- the hammer will audibly drop
- if switched back to semi-auto shotgun fires (after recocking hammer).
Any thoughts?
I have had the M3 since 1996, and until I saw a Youtube video of an M3 being fired in pump-mode I just thought you had to use the thumb switch (to switch between semi and pump) to go "pump action" for every round.
