Magazine spring sqeaking when loading shells

[dwayned]

Hello,

 

I just recently upgraded the 5-mag tube to 7-round tube. The tube I've chosen is the factory Benelli OEM 7-round magazine tube. I reused the factory spring that came with the gun. I have cleaned and polished the inside of the tube the best I could and lubricated the string a little (I have read a post somewhere from StrangerDanger that it is not advised to lubricate the mag tube at all) however the spring squeaks quite a lot when loading shells into the tube. Now I don't remember if this was an issue with the original 5 mag tube however this is pretty annoying and sound cheap for $1500+ gun.

 

Anyone experiencing the same ? If so, what's the remedy ?

 

Thanks in advance!

Experienced with most all shotguns. Polishing, oiling, does not seem to fix it. I would tell you to just deal with it, but I never have got used it myself.

Hmmm, if there's nothing to do about it, then I guess I'll stop worrying about it.... still pretty annoying though

You might want to try replacing the spring with the Wolff spring that comes with the CC 7 rnd mag tubes. Looks like you reused the stock 5 rnd spring, so a 7 rnd spring might be in order, squeaking or not. Not that its relevant, but I have the CC 7 rnd mag tube and spring, and the squeaking option was not included!

Yes, I reused the OEM spring. I guess, this squeaking is related to OEM springs only. I might give a shot for CC Wolf Spring and see if it makes a difference
