fikester Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The bolt should slam completely closed with force....Im sure Benelli would send you an owners manual or have an experienced hand take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowhunter82 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Does the bolt close with much force, or does it seem a little "soft?" If it's soft, and the bolt head doesn't rotate comletely to seat the bolt, consider taking the recoil spring out, cleaning the spring, the tube, and oiling it, or replace the recoil spring. If there isnt enough force because the spring is shot, or extremely dirty, it won't close the bolt properly. I would start there. Easy enough fix if it does the job.

Hookster Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Hi Deadeye, I tried to post a link for you on recoil spring maint and replacement but the forum won't let me post it so........ use the forum search at the top, put in "recoil spring maintenance" and go to post number 4 in the thread "10 year clean" Later, Hookster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
