I just bought my very first shotgun. It's a Benelli nova tactical. My question is this: When Open the box and put the barrel and what not on I had this small plastic clip in the box. I scanned the manual and parts list and nothing there appears to show/say what it is. So for the past 2 nights it's frustrated the **** outta me. Here's the even better part, I broke it. I made a picture (if you want to call it that lol) of what it did look like. Any help will be appreciated.

I don't want to post *****, but it won't let me add in the pic.

Is your nova put together? does everything fit snug? Does it cycle rounds? Does it hold 3 or 5 rounds in the mag? Have you shot it yet? I have 3 novas and there and I haven't seen any "clip" in the box after I put them together.

 

let me know

Hey there. I think the plastic piece you're talking about is for shipping purposes. Just a thought.

[Elb1]

I don't think it was for shipping, as it was inside the box. It kinda looks like a tab.

[Elb1]

Now that I can post pics, here what I tried to draw to give ya'll an idea.

 

 

It was rather small in size. Maybe 1/4 inch thick 1/2 half an inch wide and 1 inch tall. And it had the arrow i put on the drawing on it.

Looks like some kind of a shipping block to keep something in place.

The arrow indicates that it is to be pulled out.

Someone probably previously opened the box and removed it.

I say toss it.

Hi Noob,

 

Don't have a Nova, but when I bought my little 20 guage Monty a few years ago, their was a small red tab attached to the chamber (about 1" x 1+1/2") just in front of the bolt face. It was for packing purposes to protect the bolt.

Well, after 3 of ya say so, I'll take your word. I did buy it at a gun show, so the box was already opened. Thank you all for your help.

I think it is a shipping piece.

My nova tactical has no piece that your describing, toss it.
