I bought a Benelli Competiton 12 ga maybe 15 years ago (new equivalent would be a
Legacy) I've shot everything in it from heavy mags to light target loads...100s of rounds. It has never failed until recently. During a recent dove shoot it would fire and eject, but not load the next round. I took it home and thoroughly cleaned it and was ashamed at how dirty I had allowed it to get. So, I figured that was the problem. Took it out again for doves and it cycled perfectly for the first 10 shots. Then started failing to cycle again. A friend came over and we broke it down, cleaned a little more gunk out of it (not much) and neither of us could see any obvious problems. In fact, everything looks very good internally. Have any of you had this problem? Suggestions about solutions? Tom
