Mudhole Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Hey guys, I'm new to this site, and just bought a M2 and have a question on the bolt handle! What holds this in? I put it in all the way, but when I turn the gun over the bolt handle falls right out??? Quote
Unobtanium Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Press harder? THere is a spring/detent. Quote
Mudhole Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 It can't be pushed in any further, theres a slight protrusion on the front of the handle that hits the bolt, stopping it just short of contacting the spring! Quote
Mudhole Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 I've got pictures, but can't post them till I get at least five posts! Quote
Mudhole Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 So, I'll keep this going till I get 5! Quote
Mudhole Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 That was 4 this should be 5! Sorry, haveta follow the rules! Quote
Mudhole Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 If you look closly, you can see the protrusion on the front of the bolt handle.... I think this is what keeps it from going in far enought to catch... Quote
Mudhole Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 Here's a coupla more pictures that show that the bolt handle isn't going in far enough.... Quote
Unobtanium Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 I don't know what to say. The M4S90 is my subject-matter expert topic. Quote
StrangerDanger Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Looks pretty similar to the M4 in design. Have you tried pushing in hard? Or applied some oil? It looks like a ball detent in the bolt carrier retains the charging handle. If it is still a NO GO, then it is time to call Benelli. Quote

I think this is what keeps it from going in far enought to catch... When you say "protrusion" do you mean this: If so thats normal. The only thing I can say is make sure you are lining that up with the slot on the bolt. If you are then I think its a ball issue and you can try removing the detent to see if you can spot anything obviously wrong. Failing that Benelli CS might be the answer. Quote
agm65ccip Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Here is the slot I mentioned, just make sure that you put that front part so that it goes into this slot. Quote
Mudhole Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 I've tried over and over, and it's like the pin on the handle is to short to engage the ball lock in the bolt!!! Quote
Mudhole Posted October 31, 2009 Author Posted October 31, 2009 My buddy pulled the bolt handle outa his SBE and when we compared it to mine, it was slightly longer, so seems that the bolt handle on my M2 is indeed to short! New one on the way! Ugh, hate waiting as I'm yet to fire a round thru the new M2!!! Quote

It's sad to me that a short bolt handle would have gotten so far without being noticed...o well. The M2 is an amazing shotgun you won't be disappointed. Quote
