rookie Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Hi, my new M1 seems to have a stuck bolt handle. I'm trying to pull it off with a firm tug, as the instructions indicated, to strip the gun down. The bolt handle is stuck, any ideas ... I'm thinking I shouldn't fire the gun until I get this sorted out. Also, I wished that Benelli can improve their manuals, given the premium paid for these firearms.

threeshot Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I have a difficult time getting the bolt handle off my SBEII. Try taking an old pair of shoelaces and take one pair of the shoelace and wrap it once or twice around the base of the bolt handle and pull. Works for me.

djansma Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I always wrap a rag around the bolt and twist and pull David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudhen Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Needlenose pliers to lever the bolt off works for me until a new Benelli is broken in a bit. I use a scrap of leather under the pliers to avoid dings. mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
