m2 release bolt

[deadeye5]

when i push the release bolt the chamber will not close i have to push the chamber closed ... What would be causing this to happen i bought this gun used

Does it need to be cleaned or what this is my first semi-auto i have not shot it yet

all help appreciated thanks

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.

so its an easy fix you think? i have manuals case n all chokes shims cleaning supplies

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.

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"
