dwayned Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 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! dwayned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwayned Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Hmmm, if there's nothing to do about it, then I guess I'll stop worrying about it.... still pretty annoying though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHnewbie Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 ... 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwayned Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
