splasher

I'd post a video if I knew how. New in here, so not familiar with that.

That spring is captured in a pocket inside the slot, it's not broken, and that button is firm to push in so I don't think it's weak. The roll out isn't broken or bent. The latch doesn't wobble, flio around or anything it shouldn't.

Already did this a hundred times. Lever moves a hair but does not activate the latch until I push it up. When I work the bolt, the chambered shell is ejected but the tubed round dies not move out onto the lifter. I can hack the bolt back and forth but that round stays in the tube cuz the latch isn't moving.

Well there's no way it'll go between the shell latch and the receiver. First, the shell latch has an offset into a slot in the receiver and the release lever won't physically fit in there. Even if it did, it couldn't pivot up and down due to being trapped in the slot due to it's own offset where it overlaps the latch lever. Second, pushing in on the latch button pivots the back end of the latch out into the loading port such that the release lever hits it and won't go into place. The only way the trigger group goes back in place is if the back end of the shell latch is retracted into the slot to clear the release lever. I tried to do it the other way and it just won't fit. The headed pin is also correctly installed-you can easily see the recess for the rim of the hollow pin. The release lever is already being pushed up far enough that it hits the bottom stop on the housing, so it can't be lack of movement on the release lever. HELP!!

Looking into the loading port, I see that the front end of the release lever is inboard of the shell latch. In other words, it's not between the latch and receiver wall. Pretty sure that's correct. I'm thinking that if the release tab that rides on the hammer spring cap is worn thin or bent upwards a skosh, it won't raise far enough to trip the shell latch open. The hollow pin is inserted correctly. The seller is sending a complete new trigger group for me to drop in, so I'll see if that's the cure

I had the trigger group out, the hammer spring cap does push up on the lever but if the lever tab is bent up it might not move far enough. Also, i don't know if I had the shell release button pushed in when reinstalling the trigger group. I'll retry all that tonight after work. Thanks, all.

No, the shell latch isn't moving during the cycle... stays in place until you hit the lever by the rigger guard. THEN a new she'll will jump out onto the lifter. Shouldn't have to do this for every shot.

I have an HK-stamped Benelli M1, just it through an online purchase. Having trouble with feeding: first round will manually load just fine. Pull the trigger and I get the boom and that round is ejected. That's when the trouble starts. The next round in the mag tube won't exit the tube out onto the lifter unless I push the silver release just ahead of the trigger guard. I shouldn't have to do this every round. Benelli suggested I look at the hammer spring and cap which I did...all move freely. Any suggestions? Thanks
