scatterton Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Well since customer service doesn't want to answer my message maybe one of you can. I have tried to disassemble my M3 numerous times. I have yet to be able to remove the blot handle. I have pulled, yanked, tugged, and as the directions put tear without success. I have almost come to the point of using a screw driver and a block of wood to pry it. I know there has to be a easier way before risking damage. Someone please help!!!

Cold Warrior Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I had the same problem with the nasty little bugger on my first stripping of my M1. I ended up using a pair of pliers and a block of wood for a fulcrum to lever the bolt handle out of the bolt. After that, it subsequently came out with finger pulls. I didn't damage the pin nor the pin/receiver finish with the pliers and block, so give it a try. E-mail me at [email protected] if you get stuck (pun intended).

StarLynx Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 How do ya like that M3 as far as Function & Realiability??...Been think'n about buy'n one if I could locate one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatterton Posted October 4, 2003 Author Share Posted October 4, 2003 Works great! I carry it in the car at work. It takes a little to get use to due to weight and size if your not use to it. I have it outfitted with a surefire light, muzzle break, extended tube, and side saddle. I have never had a problem with it. I got mine on auctionarms.com used $875. You might also try gunsamerica.com or gunbroker.com. They can have some good deals. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacman Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Scatterton, What did you mean by, "Well since customer service doesn't want to answer my message"... Had you tried Benelli directly via phone? Good luck on your problem - try a little penetrating oil to help it out, too... Tacman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
