LarryLiu Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Dear Sir / Madam, I just purchased a brand new Benelli M2 Tactical with ComforTech option (item #:11029). There is one concern that may I have your advice, please. The manual says that the Barrel-Fore-End unit needs to be attached or detached during the bolt is open (the cocking lever should be locked at back). But I found that the barrel-fore-end unit of my M2 can be easily slide-in and slide-out WITHOUT opening the bolt. Is it normal and is it still safe to use this gun? Thank you so much. Sincerely Yours. Edited July 19, 2017 by LarryLiu Quote
truckcop Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 It isn't a real issue. When the bolt is forward the lugs on the locking head are rotated into the recesses on the barrel extension. However, except for its forward position, there's nothing that is physically keeping the locking head "locked" into position. If you pull the barrel off with the bolt closed, the locking head will just come forward with the barrel until the cam pin rotates the head, freeing the lugs from their recesses in the extension. The barrel will come off normally. Quote
LarryLiu Posted July 20, 2017 Author Posted July 20, 2017 Thank you so much! Helps a lot. This is my first Benelli so I was very worried. I am going to give my first try with this gun this week. Quote
