Blackwhiteface Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Ok....I feel really stupid here... I have 2 other Benelli shotguns... And .... Just now own my 3rd.. It is a wooden stock ultra light ... I am looking to change my shims and for the life of me cannot seem to find the Phillips screw heads through the butt plate.... What the heck am I doing wrong? I have already started to chew up the rubber and don't want to ruin the darn thing or I will need a new one but... Dang this cant be that difficult... There was a thread on the site back in 10 but nothing was ever resolved on it. The manual says there are two screw head behind the pad some place but where. Quote
StrangerDanger Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Look for two small holes in the butt pad. You must insert a small shaft Philips screw driver into the holes and engage the hidden Philips screw. Quote
Sukhoi_fan Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Look for two small holes in the butt pad. You must insert a small shaft Philips screw driver into the holes and engage the hidden Philips screw. Yes, you have to look very, very closely, the holes (more like slits or cuts) in the rubber close up tight enough to disappear completely. Try using your fingers to spread the rubber apart in the suspected locations until you find them - they're there. Quote
Hookster Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 If you put oil on the #2 Phillips driver it will reduce damage to the rubber Quote
Blackwhiteface Posted October 22, 2012 Author Posted October 22, 2012 I looked and checked for holes and is extremely hard to find. Wow. That manual says... Easy to do. I think they missed the target there big time. I will keep looking I have in the past just inserted the cross head driver into the rubber pad and moved the head around while turning and the head would find the screw head and then unscrew the pad, simple. This one is much harder. Frustrating to say the least. Even tried a couple different size screw drivers . Quote
Blackwhiteface Posted October 22, 2012 Author Posted October 22, 2012 Also.... What do you recommend for a different recoil pad? I shoot reloads ... 1 1/8 oz as specified and holy cats.... This thing kicks like heck.... Quote
Blackwhiteface Posted October 22, 2012 Author Posted October 22, 2012 Ok ... I took a sharp knife and cut the rubber pad down no screws or screw holes... Nothing. I must have a Japanese import version then because no screws or holes or nothing and I have a wooden stock and the manual says there are supposed to be and u all say there is but there isn't Quote
Sukhoi_fan Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Well that really sucks. As a replacement I suggest a Pachmayr Decelerator buttpad. Quote
Blackwhiteface Posted October 22, 2012 Author Posted October 22, 2012 Yeah no **** right? A little pissed right now...benelli and there 40 language manuals... Quote
Blackwhiteface Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 Got pretty quiet here...any ideas on how to remove the pad yet? Have not located them 2 screws that are supposed to be there. Quote
Blackwhiteface Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 Just so you all are aware. I called Benelli tech support and that pad on the wooden stocks have 2 studs that the pad snaps on to. No screws ! Quote
Benelligunny Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Are you ready for this??? There aint no screws that hold the Ultralight recoil pad on. It's a clip on pad. Place a thin screwdriver between the plastic on the pad and the stock and pry it off. Let me know how this works. The screws in the diagram are anchors for the clips in the pad ( you will see this once you get the pad off). Quote
