Hey guys i need help I got a M4 for xmas from the wife and just fired it for the first time yesterday first 6 shells went through fine then the next 6 i had 2 jams and it got worse with the next 6? Im using Winchester 2 3/4 inch #2 shot heavy game loads. Any suggestions?
 
Did you give it a good scrubbing and cleaning? Don't forget to apply some good gun oil.

Try different loads, I don't think its the ammo but who knows.
 
You got a Benelli M4 from your wife for Christmas!!! Ah...I don't know what to say...can I send my wife to your house for training? All jokes aside, I used to have a Benelli M4 and regrettably sold it. I caught the swiss rifle flu. I found that it would not eject low-recoil loads correctly, as there was insufficient energy from the recoil to cycle the action. I did a little research and found that this is not uncommon. New M4's have to be broken in a bit in order to cycle low recoil rounds. I would suggest firing some heavy load 3" shells for a while until the shotgun is broken in and then go back to your 2 3/4" shot shells. If you don't have the ammo, you can send it to me, I'll fire several hundred rounds through it, and then send it back to you when it will cycle that ammunition. Cheers.
 
lol thanks guys ill take it down and give it a major cleaning and i will also shoot it until im sick of it try and break it in.

make sure it is very LUBED up!

They don't really care about being dirty, but they LIKE being run WET.


Also, the M4 sometimes requires a bit of a break-in period. I ran 250 rounds of 00 Buckshot 2-3/4 inch through it before it cycled the light target rounds nicely.
