benelliintx Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I recently bought a 20 gauge 828u and love shooting it and even just looking at it and fondling it Breaking it open and closing it is still very stiff... is there anything I can do to help break it in, rather than doing it repeatedly every night while watching YouTube???

remarkable Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 There is a adjustment which is correctly called the forend adjustment screw. *part number 61592, please pm me if you can not locate it, I will send you a photo. Do not be afraid to get acquainted with your shim adjustment package, MOST 828U fit very few people, out of the box, particularly the 20 Gauge with a 26" barrel.

benelliintx Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 Thanks. I found it on the parts diagram and it was easy to locate, but an odd thing... it straight up doesn't have a slot on the head (like in the diagram) where I can use a screwdriver to adjust it....

Streak26 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 The screw on my 828u is an allen head screw. 2.5mm on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benelliintx Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 I finally fixed this. From the parts diagram, the adjustment screw that was mentioned looked to be on the bottom of the barrels. But I found in the following post, the talk about the set screw that's in the fore-end itself... tightening it down loosened up the action big time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
