Benelli Super Nova

[grnoah]

I just bought one and over all I love it but it seems that Benelli's customer service is either non existant or they just don't want to answer my emails.
So I'll post my questions here and hopefully someone can help.
My biggest concerne is with the carrier. When you put a round in the magazine with the pump closed, the carrier remains in the up posistion until you release the action and move the fore end back just a little, then it snaps closed. Not a big issue but anoying. I never had any other pump gun do this. Is it the nature of the beast or is there something wrong?
Second problem I fixed myself. The slug barrel is a bit larger in diameter than the shot barrel. The fore end woud bind on the barrel in the full open possistion. A little careful sanding with my dremmel tool on the inside of the fore end took care of this.
Next question, Is the triger adjustable?
Thanks,
George

yes this is a normal phenomena on the Novas. I think it ties into the linkage for the magazine disconnect feature. As far as adjusting the trigger, I don't know . I haven't been unhappy with mine. I have only used mine for waterfowl so it hasn't been an issue. I am thinking bout getting a rifled choke though.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have been waiting two weeks to hear back from Benelli.
I bought this gun mainly for a slug gun to replace my Rem. 870. The 870 would kick like a mule and I figured there had to be something better out there. The recoil system in the stock sold me on the Benelli but I was concerned with the synthetic stocks reducing weight to much to reduce any recoil. Boy was I surprised when I weighed both guns and found the Benelli to actually weight 1-1/2 lbs more than the Remington!
I got 10 days of hunting left to fill 4 deer tags with this gun. Wish me luck!
