Picked up my first auto shotgun this weekend, a Benelli Montefeltro Silver Ducks Unlimited gun at one of their banquets. As I said this is my first semi-auto shotgun, haven't had a chance to throw some lead through it yet but I can tell I'm going to want to use this shotgun on the trap line.

That being said through High School being on the FFA trapshooting team, and shooting after my 'competitive days', nothing annoyed me more than the kids who would have their semi auto's blowing their hulls into the side of my face, while I'm trying to get into my 'break clays zone'.

Is there a way, piece I can buy, some way so that it keeps the spent hull chambered, and I just cycle the bolt by hand?

Thanks any help on this subject is greatly appreciated!
 
Thanks RC, you seem to always be one of the first to help me out both here and in the rifle section. I tried google, but not much came up for 'thing that makes semi auto shotguns not cycle' didn't post many hits!

I was kinda hoping for something internally, spring? I know this is the inertia style system instead of a gas gun, which I could go mess with the gas chamber? and get my desired result?

My reasoning for this is that this gun is beautiful, too nice for me honestly, and I'd like to keep it that way. That TS style looks like after some use it could rub / wear on the receiver, and possibly give a obnoxious scratch during installation/removal.

The Birchwood Casey style you posted secondly looks better with the double sided tape, but again in my experiences with double sided tape, two things that it doesn't get along with come into play with proper care of a shotgun, oil and solvents.

So I guess I'm getting at is there something in the bolt spring mech that I could just pick up a replacement spring, that will keep the bolt from fully cycling? I haven't done a full strip yet, and if I could find something like this that works, I would either figure out how to do the process quick, if need be to switch to doubles, etc, or buy the necessary parts to have a 'quick change' setup, I'm guessing a backup bolt would be necessary?

Thanks for bearing with me!
 
Here's the only decent picture my cellphone camera picture deemed me worthy of having, wrong side of the receiver, but the other side is just as nice so you can see why I don't want to go messing this one up!

I am guessing you can't do that to a Benelli Inertia action, or Benelli would already sell you the necessary part.

Or three other after-market companies would be.
But they aren't.

That right there is what we like to call, A Clue!

Both of those will dot he job. I used to use the T&S on a 1100 in 28 guage. It did wear the bluing slightly, but not that much.

As for trap, a Benelli is lighter than most guns used for trap and the recoil will start to become a fatigue factor after a little while. Not saying it can't be done, but you'll be better served by shooting the lightest load that will reliably work your gun. Being inertia, they typically do not like loads that are light. Therein lies the rub. You may be able to add some aftermarket weights to the forearm and stock that could help mitigate the recoil.
