Grant 0 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Dear Benelli community, Do you still think the M2 jams on low load shells? Do you need to buy the Taran Tactical Innovations reduced buffer spring to shoot the lower loads? I have just purchased a new 3gun M2 and would like to know what people have experienced. Thank you in advance for the feedback. TTI Benelli Ultimate Reduced-Power Buffer Spring Quote Link to post Share on other sites
electric7 2 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I bought the $40 spring kit and installed everything. Not sure if I really needed the reduced power recoil spring, but went ahead and installed it anyways. It was more peace of mind that I set it up properly for the application.

electric7 2 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I am curious what the hottest load you could use with the Taran spring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JT111 16 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I've had two M2 tactical shotguns. Both guns cycled everything I fed them from reduced recoil to full power slugs. One of them had a light and a side saddle shell carrier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you in advance for the feedback. TTI Benelli Ultimate Reduced-Power Buffer Spring Suggest that you actually try it out with a number of different loads. Semi-auto shotguns are notoriously inconsistent in how they operate with different loads. I've had M2's that operate perfectly regardless of the load and M2's that were finicky. It's the same with patterning. Shoot your gun with a variety of loads including "low load" shells. If it works, carry on. If not, either change loads or fiddle with pieces-parts. No sense in spending money up front for additional pieces-parts if it will work without having to do that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grant 0 Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Thank you for sharing your experience and your suggestion. I am learning how attachments can impact the operation overall. So you are correct it will come down to testing and learning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
