Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key differences between the Benelli M2 Field American edition and the standard model?

The Benelli M2 Field American edition is a more cost-effective version. It omits the hard case and extra choke tubes found with the standard model, making it a more pared-down option for value-conscious hunters.

How do you assemble the Benelli M2 Field American shotgun after unboxing?

Assembly involves removing the magazine cap, sliding the foregrip forward, removing a rubber plug from the receiver, aligning the barrel with the foregrip, sliding the barrel back, and then screwing the magazine cap back on until it ratchets.

What is the purpose of the rubber plug inside the receiver of the Benelli M2 Field American?

The rubber plug is a protective measure. It prevents the bolt from accidentally sliding forward and potentially damaging the plastic foregrip when the shotgun is shipped disassembled with the barrel removed.

How does the inertia-driven action of the Benelli M2 work?

The inertia-driven system uses the energy from the fired shell to cycle the bolt. This energy drives the bolt back, initiating the semi-automatic action, which then chambers the next shell.
