benelli-metal Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I am looking into changing the stock on my super 90, now has the PG model. I removed this stock and have a question. Mounted to the reciever is a round tube that houses a spring. At the end of this tube is a threaded stud. At the base of the threaded stud, where the stud joins the spring tube is a disk of metal. This disc looks like a washer, one might expect it to simply come off. Mine seems very dis-interested in coming off. Is it a washer like part or is it integral with the threaded stud that holds the stock on? Any info very much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benelliwerkes Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Are you referring to Action Recoil Spring Retainer ???? From the Benelli M1 & M2 Anatomy Series Manual: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benelli-metal Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 But the info is much appreciated and will help. The part I am referring to is what you show as the Action Recoil Spring Retainer, In my M1 it has no flats to grab with a wrench. Perhaps mine is of a different build lot than the very nice photos that have been provided. I did manage a photo (had to get a closeup accessory to get this photo, which is not great)[ATTACH=CONFIG]1949[/ATTACH] the disc that looks like a washer (no flats) I take it is integeral with the treaded stud?

truckcop Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Since your pic is a little fuzzy, take a close look at the stud itself and see if there are flat surfaces there. One of my older ones was made that way. Unless you have a compelling reason to take it apart, I would leave it alone and install your new stock.

GoBow Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 BM, both of my HK Benellis are like that. They are older models. I keep everything clean and lubed, no problems. Best of luck with your's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benelli-metal Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) thanks for the comments to all. I had the opportunity to put on an "alternative" stock for testing. Went to the range today and as expected everything I offered the Benelli it consumed and seemed to request more please. No issues. No surprises. I was concerned this extra thickness in what appeared to be a washer would prevent this alternate stock from mounting cleanly. My concern was unfounded. (sorry about the photo, Had a close up lens on the camera, the depth of field is rather thin, it was a challenge to get a photo that was not a total blur) Edited February 19, 2013 by benelli-metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
