Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start disassembling a Benelli SuperNova or Nova shotgun?

First, ensure the firearm is completely unloaded. Then, pull the slide back about halfway to relieve tension on the barrel, allowing you to unscrew the barrel cap and then slide the barrel off.

What is the correct way to remove the pins on a Benelli SuperNova/Nova?

Locate the two pins on the receiver, one smaller than the other. Push them out from the small side to the big side. If they are difficult, the barrel cap can be used as a tool to help push them out.

To reassemble the bolt, pinch the spring-loaded bolt face together and then insert it into its channel. It should slide freely once properly seated.

What is the proper orientation for the pins during reassembly of a Benelli SuperNova/Nova?

During reassembly, the longer pin is installed towards the front of the firearm, and the shorter pin is installed towards the rear. Ensure they are fully seated using the dimples.
