If it's an old one, a wipe down of the outside of the mag tube, and make sure your friction rings are properly installed. I don't know squat about the new A5's, but my Benelli M2 was getting ready to get tripped due to crappy cycling, until I did a little research and discovered the action spring in the buttstock issue, which has now been addressed. The jury is still out on the M2, but I swear if it doesn't pan out, I am going back to my trusty Belgium A5's and calling it a career. I love those old humpbacks! There are replacement SS action springs available. http://www.mackspw.com/Item--i-SRMSCSSA Faith and love of others knows no mileage nor bounds.

Yours is probably simply dirty. Originally Posted by Bristoe The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

Taken down re-cleaned making sure that the original stuff that browning uses was gone, then lightly lubed as recomended......several times There is something wrong with it...

After tearing both guns down we found that both of them had the roll pin that holds the main spring jn the stock had been torn out of one side of the retaining tube, the plastic plug was lodged at a 45 degree angle. The fix was as simple as re drilling the hole and adding a new roll pin, we figure that hydraulic pressure from the driving rain had built up in the action and upon firing the guns it tore the weakest link out.
