Why Is My Semi Auto Benelli Jamming?

[Bigpat 25]

So I purchased the Benelli Vinchi 12 bore semi auto last year for a bit of rough shooting thinking I was buying a real good piece of kit, I have had it out a half dozen times firing a total of around 200 cartridges, it randomly jams not fully cycling, I am using a 34grm load, my gun is clean & lubed, I'm ging to put another 50 cartridges through it & if still the same take it back to the shop but would prefer to work out myself, has anybody any experience with semis & fixes I could try, thanks Pat.

yep i have had this, in my case it was the cartridge size, my semi will only cycle 67mm and up anything shorter and it trys to feed 2 cart, there is prob something that can be done mechanicaly but i just changed carts once i realised what was happening

Once my M1 gets too sh*tted up (not often) I have to clean the tube that the spring is in.
I know a gent that bought a brand new vincii and hated it, jammed far to often.
I was always told with Benelli stick to the M1, M2 & superblack eagels as they're the simplest.

case length is paramount..... as said above, too short, and it tries to feed two.

Hmmm very odd, my m1 has never jammed once and I have owned it 7 years,2 mates have an m2 and black eagle and they have never jammed either,I would get it back to the shop asap mate,you have a 5 year guarantee on it so use it fella it should not be doing that.

Never had any problems with my Vinci and had thousands through it, even cycles 21gram carts.

I have the same gun and have found it to be very reliable indeed when fed with cartiridges that it likes, I have put thousands through it. I got the type of jams you are explaining (when it was quite new) when using 'light' cartridges.

Hi.

I had a M2 that jammed so much I called it Bob Marley, It went back twice for repair but it was never perfect and when the barrel rusted(my mates is the same) I sold it and bought a Fabarm, it jammed with all size cartridges from 32 to 50. My choice was limited to Fabarm, Hatsan or Bennelli because they are the only ones now making left handers.

I've had the Fabarm for 2 years and it has been perfect.
