John Parker Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I didn't realize the stock retaining nut screw was installed with loc-tite. I put the receiver in a vise and tried to unscrew the stock retaining nut screw. The entire recoil spring tube started to rotate so I stopped. It less than 1/16 of a turn But now I'm wondering how it is attached to the receiver? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This screw is NOT lock-tighted, or shouldn't be anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJgunner Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 its part of the cast i beleive. And from my understanding it IS loc tited..I heated mine up with a bic slow turning for almost a minute, had a friend hold the receiver and used a 17mm wrench on the slots and turned COUNTER clock wise. After I removed the screw, spring and recoil plunger I cleaned and lubricated everything with clp.I used a 20 gauge cloth type cleaner and rod to clean out the recoil tube then put about 6 drops of clp throughout the tube and reassembled (no need for loctite) then depresed the plunger a few times wiht a long rod to work the clp all over the tube. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to the screw that attatches the buttstock that he was TRYING to get undone. Yes, the rec. should be locktited. Again...dial Benelli.

HOGWILD Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 go to sure cycle website it has a detailed instruction on installing their product and i would think installing the Benelli product would be similar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Parker Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Another forum member sent me an email. The recoil spring tube is screwed into the receiver. I was turning the stock retaining nut screw CCW. stock retaining nut came off with no problems. I will try again and heat the stock retaining nut screw. Thanks for all replies.
