Shot my new 14" entry gun and had numerous FTF and FTE's. I tried various ammo and different operators still, No Joy.Anyone got any ideas what the cause could be?

Having similar problems with my M3s90. FTE's I find are caused by using ammo that is not powerful enough to cycle the action, for my gun thats anything less than a 34g shell.

 

I'm getting alot of FTF's also and I really don't know whats causing them..

you may wish to check out these recoil springs. If it is brand new, I would clean the heck out of it and shoot the heck out of it a couple times, then call Benelli C.S. if you want to play with it yourself look at this stuff;

If it is a factory 14" I think I would send it in, drag I know but your safest bet.

clean thoroughly...oil thoroughly....use heavy loads to break it in...then shoot lighter stuff....
