Hello all,

Well I came back from my FFL just an hour ago with a NIB M2 camo. Love the gun, but I've noticed something very strange. When I cycle the bolt manually, and let it ride home, it's great. If I cycle the bolt manually, and ride it back slowly, and move it rearward again, the bolt sticks back. It does it every time, as if it is supposed to be like that. The only way, at that point, to release the bolt, it to thump the butt of the gun. Has anyone heard of this? Is this normal? Gun is brand new. I've never used a Benelli Autoloader, but have used Berettas often, and have never seen anything like this.

I didn't initially notice that it only happened when I slowly move it forward, and then back again before it gets home. I read it somewhere online and tried it, and sure enough it does it every time. Any thoughts/help would be great.
 
Its just acting like its fired it last shell------check the little silver tab in front of the trigger guard. Click it on and off a see how your gun reacts.
 
If I click it, it stays back. But if I bring it forward slow then move it back it stays back too, without hitting the button
 
Normal for Benellis. You can't ease the bolt forward or you'll get the annoying "click" because the bolt wont seat fully forward.

You can test this by easing the bolt forward, then pushing the bolt tip with your thumb. It should click into place.
