Benelli M2 Field Semi-Automatic Shotgun

Benelli M2 Field Semi-Automatic Shotgun

The Benelli M2 Field Shotgun is the result of meticulous effort at the Research and Development Center, as well as years of precision engineering expertise on the part of Benelli. The “Benelli” shotguns are highly dependable and practical, simple to strip and maintain, and can be regarded as the most contemporary, accurate, safest, fastest, and most elegant shotguns currently on the market thanks to their small number of parts, extremely simple operating principle, turning block bolt locking system, and cartridge feeding system (cut off).

Benelli M2 semi-automatic shotguns function on the same fundamental tenet of inertial operation with fixed barrel, making use of the kinetic energy of gun recoil, which continues to be one of the most significant and clever innovations in sporting weapon production. This mechanism uses a spring that is flexibly positioned between the locking head and the bolt to operate instead of a gas outlet or barrel recoil.

The breech bolt (inert), which advances roughly 4 mm forward when the gun recoils during fire, compresses the spring. When this is fully compressed, it overcomes the breech bolt’s inertia and forces it to the rear under residual pressure, enabling the extraction of the cartridge case and standard system reloading.

With no need for modification, spring pressure is intended to delay the opening of the action, which happens after the shot has left the barrel, and to account for the various pressures produced by cartridges of different powers.

The shortcomings of the barrel recoil system (barrel vibrations during firing needed to brake the system and regulate it when firing powerful ammunition, etc.) and those of gas operated type are eliminated by the fully automatic operation of this new shotgun (the need to clean gas outlets, loss of power due to acceleration of the shot charge and adverse effect on the longitudinal shape of the wad and possible malfunctions under adverse climatic conditions).

Therefore, the Benelli M2 system is cutting-edge and incredibly dependable. A rotating bolt head with a straightforward and durable design that shuts the breech axially and perfectly while withstanding any cartridge pressure has been added to this operating system. It has only two locking lugs.

Through a system of variable profile, the current and revolutionary trigger action is carried out, enabling the user to shoot precisely and without jerking the trigger pull. Without a trigger-free pre-run or a sudden relax after releasing the hammer, the pull action is carried out smoothly and deliberately, assuring the effectiveness and safety of the entire system.

Last but not least, the feeding system is optimized by the precise synchronization of the movement of the hammer double coupling teeth by a combined action with the cartridge drop lever and the stop notch.

A distinctive “cartridge drop lever” that extends from below the receiver and can be easily grabbed by the trigger finger controls the cut-off feeding system.

When a shot is fired, the hammer spring pushes the cartridge drop lever up to release the carrier latch, which is then pulled by the carrier latch spring to turn the carrier latch clockwise to release a cartridge from the magazine. The cartridge presses against the “cartridge drop lever,” which rotates in the opposite direction to stop a second cartridge from departing, as it settles into place on the carrier. The carrier rises mechanically when the bolt is actuated, positioning the cartridge for insertion into the chamber.

The cartridge drop lever has since been able to return to its rest position because the hammer spring, which was compressed during cocking, is now unconstrained. The carrier latch keeps the remaining cartridges in the magazine until the following shot is discharged in this manner. A red point is delineated on the cartridge drop lever’s end that extends from the receiver. The hammer is cocked and the cannon is ready to fire when the red tip is visible; otherwise, it is not. This process makes it simple to manually swap cartridges in the barrel chamber.
