TJ,

I have no idea how you can fix this problem. Might it need a stronger spring for the shell lifter? Maybe a new spring from Browning will do the trick, or you can look at Numrich Gun Parts for the spring. They usually aren't that expensive.

Let's see how long our Benellis keep shooting before they run into problems. I love all the people that think Benellis are overpriced. This will be my 9th season with this gun and I haven't had any problems yet that weren't my fault. The one problem I did have was a piece of shot falling out of a poor reload, rolling down into the trigger mechanism, and getting caught in the safety. For some reason, the gun would only fire a single shot. Took the gun apart in the field to fix it, and had a spring launch off into the grass. I couldn't find the spring, so I had to order a new one. However, none of this had anything to do with the reliability of the gun. It had everything to do with my poor crimp on a reload and my poor handling of the trigger mechanism. I have also used this gun for almost all of my dove, duck, goose, and upland hunting, and started using it for deer hunting 3 years ago. I would have to say it has thousands of shells through it, and I would guess somewhere above 5,000.
