M2 bites me

[Drew Peacock]

This is kind of a newbie question but...

 

I have an M2 tactical. just about every time I take it out my thumb gets pinched between the loading gate and the frame while i am loading.

 

is there some fix for this? some diffrent loading technique i should use?

 

the gun has bit all of my shooting buddies the same way so i know that it isn't just me.

 

Before I bought the gun I read a review of it that gave very high marks but had a note that "there was some difficulty loading" now i know what their difficulty was.

When loading, have your thumb facing the top of the receiver and use your knucke up to shove the round home. Then your bent knuckle will help hold the gate off while you withdraw your thumb.

This used to be the thing to do to elimate "Benelli thumb"
