[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 230063, member: 412"] It's not unbelievable that you'd feel the bolt hit the rear end of it's cycle stroke. Long-stoke inertia driven systems a la A-5's/AL 48's you can absolutely feel the bbl hit the end of it's stroke as well as hear the clickitty-clack-------ping and feel the action spring vibrating beneath the forearm. In a Benelli it's nothing within the bolt or really even within the action rails that'll ever really cause F-T-F/F (Failure to function/fire). If a Benelli is ever having trouble, it's almost always the Recoil Return Spring (RRS) housed within the butt-stock getting gummed up and slowing the bolt's return into forward battery. It's too bad that Benelli can't put something like the A-5 spring/friction-ring setup under their forearm and get rid of the RRS housed up it's backside. The Benelli is very easy to tear-down and clean, except for the part that is most often causing F-T-F/F. To be fair, Beretta and Browining/Winchester also suffer from SIAS (Spring in ass syndrome). You can deep-clean the gas systems with a jeweler's ultrasonic system, but, if the RRS is compromised there's no amount of cleaning elsewhere that'll save you from FTF/F. [/QUOTE]
