EC Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I just got a new Nova and went out with it yesterday for the first time. I noticed that the carrier doesn't close when you load it, but the shells stay in place due to Benelli's mag. design. Is this the way it's supposed to work? I've shot numerous other guns mostly Remingtons and haven't encountered this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHawg Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 I have used my nova 3 times, and today I noticed the carrier not closing on mine. I did not notice it before. The day before yesterday I fell down in about 4 feet of water. My waders floated, and I could not get my feet back under me. I had to use the Nova as a walking stick and poke it into the mud in order to raise me up so I could get my footing (first time I've done that in 30 years). I returned to the boat, cleaned the barrel out with a stick and water. It continued to fire without problems. (I got 4 ringnecks). I came home and broke it down and cleaned it. Today I notice the carrier not closing. I thought it might be due to the dunking. So, is it suppose to close or not??

Drundel Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 NO! Once you load ammo in the mag, it will no close until you cycle the action. You can do it part way and you will see it lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
