    You can't force a shell into the magazine when it is the least bit cold. Machined poorly and it seems to be a common thing. I have been meaning to send it back to Benelli for my nephew and will report back when I do.

    They had m2s, then a good deal on montefeltros, then a run of m1 receivers with m2 barrels.

    Hate to hear the quality wasn’t there

    They called this one the M2 American.

    Agreed I felt mine was just thrown together nothing about it was smooth. I compared it to an A300 and the difference was drastic.

    It’s an 800$ shotgun and acts like it. I’ve got an m2 20 gauge that hadn’t missed a lick.
