SweetM4 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 i'm a proud new owner of a benelli M4, and i am learning a lot from reading this forum. i've been familiarizing myself with some of the basics (field stripping, cleaning, lube, loading, unloading, etc.). very nice. i love the feel and sound of cycling the action! but i'm having some problems emptying the magazine tube by depressing the front end of the shell stop. i've noticed that when the tube is full, the first few shells can be released fairly easily by depressing the front end of the shell stop. but releasing the last shell is very difficult (cussing and swearing difficult). am i doing something wrong? is there a trick to this? or maybe the gun is just new and the shell stop will loosen up after a few hundred rounds? any advise would be appreciated thank you.

StrangerDanger Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Mine can be tough to push too. Try pushing the shell itself inward while you press the release. This will take the tension off of the paw and should allow it to dump into your hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetM4 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 it's VERY easy to unload the magazine tube on my remington 870, so i just assumed that it would be equally easy on the benelli. one thing odd though is that it's the last shell in the tube that's VERY tough to release. intuitively, you'd think that shell would be the easiest. maybe the shell release will loosen up a bit after the gun is used a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzman Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Mine acts the same way. I occasionally just cycle the last one through the action. Grizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetM4 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 thank you for this. i don't blame you. i'll probably do the same thing. i'm just glad it's not cockpit error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetM4 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 hey, maybe we found another part that kip (carrier comp) can rework for improved functionality? kipster, what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
