cherok9878 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Just an information input for the M2 Field. My new M2 is thru it's break in period and I wondered about reliability. The gun was put thru eight full rounds of clays without any cleaning what so ever. I know some of you will throw rocks at me for this but it was to prove or disprove a point. In 800+ rounds there was only one stovepipe and it was my fault, limp shoulder bad mount. Reliability isn't a question anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gun_Guy Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 do you have an m1; I have one and I am to afraid to goo 800 rds without cleaning. If you do is it reliable for long trips in heavy conditions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherok9878 Posted April 15, 2005 Author Share Posted April 15, 2005 This was a test of reliability for my own personal satisfaction and peace of mind. This weapon will never go that long without cleaning again. I do not have a M1. I do feel that the M2 I have, as well as other benelli products, will perform in any adverse field conditions that will be encountered. Thanks for your reply.

Reliability isn't a question anymore. Well as to reliability, I have between 2500 and 3000 rounds through my M2 with out a hitch. These rounds include upland bird hunting and clay pigeons. The only misfires I have had were my fault and not the guns or the amunition. The longest I have gone between cleaning is 5 rounds of 5-stand. I usually cleanit after every round of shooting.

Drundel Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 I've never cleaned my 391 sporting and its had thousands of rounds through it. Granted, all of its shooting has been dove or clay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
