sschultz Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I thought I read something about this in a previous thread but I was unable to find it. When I pull the bolt back and push the lifter up the bolt sticks open. Once in a great while it will do this with a round on the lifter. If I give the bolt a little nudge it will close. Any ideas.

CJW Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I had a similar sounding issue that was resolved by changing the out the carrier spring. It involves removing the trigger assembly to access it, but you don't have to disassemble anything, really, to swap the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poortrader Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 When was the last time you changed the mag tube spring? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxymajor Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 If it is sticking on the right side at the extractor groove, file a dull angle on the extractor groove. A lot of plastic shells catch on that. (especially if you have a modified lifter/carrier that is not perfect). Feel the throat for sharp rough edges that might catch shells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxymajor Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Hotter loads will sometimes give Shell carrier time to align better as it enters the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschultz Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 It has a almost new mag spring. The gun has less than 6 or 7 hundred rounds rounds through it. I can get it lock back with no rounds in it by just pulling the charge handle back and pushing the lifter up. Then if I give the bolt a light nudge it will close.

kurtm Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Roxymajor, I have never heard that before, the part about heavier shells helping the carrier align. Can you please explain that in more detail. SShultz check your p.m.s This has nothing to do with the magazine spring or the chamber !! Almost all Benelli will do this if you pull the bolt back and push the carrier up by hand.... because there is no shell in the way to block the carrier from going to far up and "over centering" the carrier lever. VERSAs will also do this IT IS NORMAL!!! If it does it while shooting that is a different matter entirely Edited July 2, 2014 by kurtm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschultz Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Thank you Kurtm that makes sense I will dink around with some dummy rounds and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That had to do with shells hanging up on the extractor grove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
