See Eagle Peak’s post above (20 December 2020) it’s a simple process, just follow the instructions- there’s no need to return your gun for repair - it will just pop back very easily. It’s impossible to turn with just your hands- the blot reversed makes it so easy. It WILL happy again so you need to learn the drill.

Wow! Did you ever resolve this Alexfritz?

Well, extra bolts hanging around means a stolen rifle could be made live (assuming the bolt was and should have been missing when the gun was stolen). I think this is a responsible stance by Benelli. On my first field venture I had bolt problems. Fortunately I got a 3G signal and therefore access to the manual. Solved in seconds then. FTFM! 😂

My Lupo didn’t come with a swivel but the importer in the UK sent me one when I enquired how to fit a bipod AND a sling. The cap will prise off with a bit of care. I was going to remove the fore end and push it out from the inside but thought I’d have a go with the crude way first. I was about to give up as it was resistant and I’d done no damage when it flew across the room! It is a little more than a cap - there’s a longish spigot attached to the cap that goes down a narrower hole. I’m still not sure whether it’s possible to push from inside but if you concentrate on bruising the cap rather than the fore end you should be okay with a small electrician’s screwdriver. Just screw the swivel in and you’re done. I absolve myself of any blame if it all goes wrong for you. Just take your time and be careful where you push!
