im sure you have an o-ring kit, id try replacing them, and reassembling/disassembling to see if that solves the issue, if it does shoot it,, if the o rings don't make a proper seal then the worst i suspect would happen is the gun wouldn't cycle (but don't take my advice, im just some jerkoff on the internet)
if the o-rings don't fix the problem id send it back to S&J and let them deal with it
Is that how it came out of the box? I'd probably return it and get a new one if it is, that's not acceptable.
This will not be the last time someone has issues like these with this shotgun
I'd send it back
we are 1250 rounds in so farAlso after reading the Benelli forum, the gas system does not to be serviced for 5000 rounds. Now can this clone due the same, I dont know.

Got a standard and metric o ring kits. The ones marked in the image seem to be a real good fit. I can hand tighten the lock nuts with my fingers now. To the range monday to see if my bubba fix works.
im hoping this works, i cant see any other reason you would be having the issues you are having besides the o rings. did everything thread together smoothly after changing them? no feeling of cross threading?
