hypergun Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hi All, I have a Benelli Mancino semi auto left hand, and recently it has stopped ejecting the cartridges, they tend to stay in the chamber or get halfway out and then stop; the next cartride will not load untill the spent one has been ejected. Obviuosly this is a real problem as I use the gun for clay shooting so I want to know if there are any experts out there who might be able to recommend a remedy.The gun is very clean...I've heard from some in my gun club that you can adjust the springs but I'm not sure how to do this and what spring - the one in the stock or the one in the firing mechanism? I'm using Kent 70mm 28g. Any help or advice would be much appreciated, Cheers, Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utectok Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 If it happens to me I take out the magazine tube spring and clean the magazine tube with a barrel cleaning mop and oil spring and reassemble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickmep Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 could be that the bolt needs stripping/cleaning. maybe the inertia spring inside the bolt is gummed up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 also check the extractor claw is not worn or broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 you may want to run some hot 1400fps and 36g loads through it after, to rule out the cartridges, i know the benellis hate sub 1200fps loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenman99 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 My SBE started to not reload the 2nd shot while pigeons Shooting, usually i strip it all to the last nut & works fine. Not this time it will not reload, now 6years old, so back to gun-shop, they fired it, striped it & don't know. So back to Benelli's it went, that was 5 weeks ago & still not got it back. Really am missing it on the pigeons! fenman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
