Benelli click

[duckbuster5901]

If you feel its the recoil spring causeing issue and not proper bolt closure simply pull out spring and give it a good stretch and replace. Many times that will work for quite a while and help you determine if that's the cause. Clean out and slightly lube recoil spring tube when you do this. Normal to have to heat the retaining nut on end of recoil tube with hot hair dryer or heat gun to release factory locktite on same.

agree with clean lock up channels in chamber entry. Pick, copper brush, solvent.

Also agree with letting the bolt slam home.

It is one of the idiosyncrasies of that gun...mine clicked more on overhead shots than any other time went the wolf spring route and a new magazine end cap that did the trick.
There is a new Turkish knock off Ratay sp? that I have heard about where they claim no mas click?

You can always give the bolt a little forward assist.
I give it a tap once in a while to make sure the bolt is still locked.

It depends on how the bolt closes within the chamber. My Beretta A300 extrema has a rotating boltface, so I am subject to the "Benelli Click" as well. It really depends on the gun.

Hhmmmmm... I have a Beretta Xtrema2, with the rotating bolt face. Never had the "Benelli click" with that gun.
I just went downstairs to my gun room, and dropped the Xtrema2 from about 8" off the carpeted floor (gun pointed up, of course). The bolt came out of battery and instantly returned to battery; Click-click.
I then tried it with a heavy load chambered. Same thing. I could get the bolt to fail to go into battery if I eased it closed very slowly...but only about half the time.

You really have to try to make it fail. ClOsing the action by Letting it slam down is best.

A Good Hunter doesn't blame his tools......is what's echoing in my head but having a gun with a rotating bolt is just not my style !
One of the other B guns never fails to fire as it has a (true) overbored barrel , not a backbored barrel only a couple inches for the oversized choke tube .
You fellas should know ,steel shot shooting needs all the help it can get from a shotguns point of view ? Heheee

Have never had a real issue with my 3 Benellis, But I had an A400 Excel sporting that was horrible about it. Some minor polishing, ZERO problems since.

 

[bang you'r dead]

I clean out the chamber with nitro solvent, 99% alcohol, and use a dental pick to make sure the shell head rim area is clean and polished. One drop of FP-10 wiped on and off , 1 drop into bolt and that is it.

I really question how people have so many problems with this. I’ve only had it happen a handful of times over the years and everytime it was guys doing it to me on purpose for a good laugh. Never once had it happen just on its own.
