Unloading the shotgun
(Perform this operation with the gun
safety catch “on”- see “Shotgun safe
-
ty” - and the barrel pointing in a safe
direction)
To unload the shotgun, depending on the
type of bolt selected, follow the steps be-
low:
1. Engage the safety
and open the bolt
by pulling back the fore-end lever. The
cartridge in the chamber is ejected by
the extractor
and the first cartridge in
the magazine is automatically deposit-
ed onto the carrier.
2. Close the bolt
by pushing forward the
fore-end lever. When closing, the bolt
chambers the cartridge on the carrier
and comes to a stop in the closed posi-
tion.
3.
Repeat the steps above until all the car-
tridges in the magazine are ejected.
Once the last cartridge is ejected the
bolt will automatically remain open.
4.
To close the bolt, press the carrier re-
lease button, which frees the fore-end
to snap forward.
Note:
During this operation and even if
the safety catch is engaged (see “Shot
-
gun safety”), always point the gun in a
safe direction
Troubleshooting
Before carrying out any type of inter
-
vention on the shotgun, always make
sure that the chamber, carrier and
magazine are completely empty! Make
sure that the safety is engaged and
that the shotgun is pointing in a safe
direction.
(Carefully read the instructions
for loading and unloading the shotgun).
If the shotgun fails to fire
Warning:
in case of jamming, keep the
shotgun muzzle pointed in a safe direc-
tion before carrying out any type of inter-
vention.
1.
Check the safety
: if engaged, push the
button to the firing position.
2.
Open the bolt to make sure that a car-
tridge has been loaded. Make sure that
there is a cartridge in the chamber. If
necessary, insert a cartridge, following
the loading instructions.
3.
During assembly, make sure that the
magazine follower is securely
screwed to the barrel
, so that the bar-
rel is securely fastened to the receiver.
4.
If the shotgun does not work correctly,
make sure that it is not loaded and that
the safety is engaged.
Choice of ammunition
Correct functioning of the shotgun is only
guaranteed with cartridges of a maximum
length of
58 mm
(2” 3/4 - 70 mm cham-
ber) or
66 mm
(3” - 76 mm chamber). The
shotgun accepts cartridges with rolled
turnover or crimped closures, and with
lead or steel shot.
Benelli recommends use of shot loaded
ammunition for ribbed barrels and balls
for slug barrels. These recommendations
are not mandatory but will ensure the best
possible performance.
Chokes
* (full), ** (Imp. Mod.) and AM-
PLIATOR
are not recommended
for use
with steel shot.
Caution:
Never
use cartridges with a
case
longer
than the chamber!
Failure to comply with this rule will
have serious consequences for both
the shotgun and the shooter.
All Benelli shotguns undergo a 1370
bar burst test at the Italian National
Proof House in Gardone Valtrompia
(Brescia).
