tucker301 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I generally don't read messages formatted so poorly, with no capitalization, punctuation and paragraph spacing. Since you sent a PM on the same subject, I suppose you really do need an answer. What brand 3" shells are you using? Have you tried other brands?

joeb221 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Chop, I had the same problem with my M2 using 3" turkey loads and buckshot, I also purchased new in 06, after using a M1 for so many years with no problems I was really upset about the M2 not cycling, I called customer service and sent the gun back to Benelli, they corrected the problem with a quick turnaround time, a little over 2 weeks, so I would recommend you call customer service and return your M2.

BoJack Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Wow five weeks turnaround time they must have a lot of guns returned to fix. I guess I still have at least 3 weeks on my I-12 getting back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
