Singo9990 Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Hi all I've recently bought the above for pigeon shooting, it came without a manual and on the action on the oposite side to the bolt release button is a slide button, does anyone know what this is for please ? I've tried to get a manual online but struggling so far, this is the only thing I've not come across on the beretta or benelli semi,s I've had before, any advice appreciated Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Most likely the mag stop button so you can unload the chambered round and reload a different cart without having to empty the mag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westley Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) I did have one many years ago, but found that it was so ammo fussy that I got rid of it for a Beretta. I had no other problems with the gun, BUT it did need pokey ammo ! As already suggested, it is a mag lock button. You can remove the chambered round only, rendering the gun safe but with 2 up the magazine. IT SHOULD STILL BE TREATED AS A LOADED GUN THOUGH.

Big Al Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Yip. As above. I owned a Euro 3 for years. It was nice and light to carry but still had 3" capacity. My chesapeake knocked a lump out of the stock in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singo9990 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Thanks for the above,really appreciated, Chris. I shot it yesterday with 28gramm Fiocchi at my clay ground and it cycled perfectly well, can't wait to try it on the feathered variety though. Once again thanks for the quick response.

Sprucey Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 sorry to hijack... But I have one of these. I have a problem that I can't seem to find an answer to.... Can you guys help at all? Gun used to work perfectly. Not now, it has been with a rfd for about a year, said they would have a look but it turns out they just locked it up and forgot about it! I've now collected the gun from them. The problem is it will not cycle another round. on close inspection the bolt doesn't even seem to move when fired. The sliding button that you talk about, I believe it has something to do with this. Can anyone shed some light on this please?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katash Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 If the bolt is not driving rearward after a shot it's more than likely an issue with the gas system - I'm assuming you are 100% sure it's definatly not cycling the bolt? Presence of a fired shell still in the chamber would confirm this (although the bolt may still be operating but not enough rear travel for the shell to hit the ejector AND not trip the magazine shell release mechanism and then re chambering the fired case - unlikley but still a possibility.)
