Conrad Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Just bought a Lupo rifle. Took bolt cap off to look at firing pin and assembly procedures. I cannot inset the bolt cap back on bolt assembly. Can anyone help with this? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Peak Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Hi Conrad, Check out page 29 of the manual https://www.benelliusa.com/sites/default/files/content/media/manuals/2020-12/Lupo Final Manual 02-28-20.pdf 6.Insert the bolt cap into the bolt unit, aligning the marks on the two parts; compress the spring (a) pressing the side button (b) at the same time, then turn the bolt cap counterclockwise (c). NOTE: for this operation, it may be useful to have a support surface. Essentially, you line up the two red dots, force down, and twist the bolt cap counter-clockwise. It helps to place the bolt face against a hard flat surface while pressing down during the twist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 Thanks Eagle Peak, I failed to mention that I have the manual and did everything accordingly. My bolt doesn't have two red dots but I aligned the two dots that seemed like the ones in the manual with no luck. I finally called Benelli and they had me ship the rifle back to them. The customer service was incredible. The person I dealt with was friendly, apologetic, you name it. Since the rifle is new the shipped me a mailing label and said there would be no charge. It should take about two weeks then back. Thanks again, for replying to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Peak Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 You are welcome! Glad you found a solution. It is a tricky you-know-what and took me a few hours to cipher out on my own. Enjoy your rifle when you get it back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
