Problem solved! I guess it’s a known “issue” according to the Benelli rep. He explained to get the forearm to seat properly, you need to give it a few swift whacks with the palm of you hand upwards towards the barrel. I tried it and it works but holy crap, you need to whack it pretty hard! Pretty sure it wasn’t designed to be that difficult to assemble but I guess it works!
Can’t wait to shoot it, it fits me great!
