Moss Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) I bought a Benelli M2 field with a 28 inch barrel last June and absolutely love it. However, the other day I was cleaning out the barrel and noticed that the cap retaining pin and spring fell out on the floor. Is it normal to just sit in there loose?

truckcop Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Nope, not normal. If I remember right from my Remington armorer school days (Benelli probably the same - I don't remember that being addressed in armorer school) there's a special staking tool that presses the barrel ring metal in around the top of the pin to retain it. Addendum: yep, I thought I remembered right; the Benelli detent is probably similarly retained http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/shotgun-tools/staking-tools/870-detent-staking-punch-prod25277.aspx?ttver=1 You're probably better off taking it to a gunsmith who knows what he/she's doing on this or calling Benelli customer service and sending the barrel in for repair.

Moss Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Thanks. I probably should call Benelli and have that sent in for them to check it out and fix it. I hope it is under warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
