M2 test

[mark29860]

Stripped my M2 down except for the interia spring the owners manual never mentioned the inertia spring,gave it a good cleaning went out and shot a couple boxes of heavy field loads no problems,recoil seemed to be no worse than my 1187 the only difference I can see is it shoots as fast as I can pull the trigger. I do have 1 question with a boresnake do I put a little oil on it or just run it through my barrel dry. Thanks

Wet in front( buy the brass brush) and a little on the brass brush and dry on the rest of the snake.

Mark, thanks for the preview. I bought an M2 a couple of weeks ago, but haven't been able to shoot it yet because the fore-end had a crack in it, and I had to send it back to Benelli so they would send me a new one. Anyway, I was wondering about the recoil on such a light 12 gauge. I had to get a 13 1/2 LOP pad so the gun would fit me. Gave up about an inch thickness of pad. Can't wait to try this gun out. I did all the initial cleaning, and, by the way, I called Benelli about cleaning the recoil plunger/spring, and the tech told me it didn't have to be cleaned on a new gun and maybe only once or twice a year depending on how much you shoot. They will send you am email witj instructions for cleaning it if you request it. Good luck with you new gun!
