I am going to use my buddy's shotgun for duck this weekend (my first crack at hunting - got my licence tonight) which he left with me for safe-keeping. After 12 years out of country, I think I'm entitled to a little compensation for the rent. ;-) I have no manual though, so...

My first question is, how the heck do you plug this thing? In Ontario, we're allowed only 2 in the magazine, and it currently holds four. I have the thing stripped down. How do I get the magazine off the receiver? Is it threaded on? It won't budge even after applying WD40. Is there a trick to get the shell follower to slide out? Once I get inside the magazine, I am sure I can plug it no trouble.

Also, I presume this thing is a cylinder bore, since that's what it looks like. Is that OK for duck? I know, newbie question.

Any help would be much appreciated.

You are a little late getting ready!:rolleyes: Use this link to viw various manuals from Benelli. You will probably need to email them for the proper manual!

I will try the Italian site. It might have it!
Best of luck hitting the quackers. Please use the proper ammo! You can make a quick plug using 3/4 inch copper tubing! Been-there-done-that for my 9 shot Nova that Tom Knapp used several times here!

Best regards,
Henry;)

Thanks for the advice. It was up in the air whether I could hunt this year at all since I just successfully completed the Hunter safety course Tuesday night.

No luck on getting a manual at the site you mentioned. That was the first thing I tried. Figured out how to plug it though.

What recent shottie would be most similar to mine? I could use that manual, no?
