problem w/ new monte

[pablo]

I've owned a 12ga monte for a few weeks with about 250 shells through it so far.

 

To load the first shell, I lock the bolt using the trigger switch and then release it to load the shell using the button on the side of the receiver. (using 2 3/4 in shells)

 

Occasionally, the bolt does not twist closed and the gun won't fire. Any tips on a fix?

 

Thanks,

 

Paul

Make sure you have sufficient oil in the gun. The myth that "you dont need to oil a Benelli " is entirely false. Get some oil into the recoil assembly and put some oil on the bolt rails, it'll make a big difference. Also let the bolt slam shut, it's the way it's designed to work.

wallhanger, thanks for the tips, I'll try it out with more oil.
