Do your Benelli SureShell shell carriers affect the operation of the benelli?
When the Benelli M1 was first introduced there were a few people who claimed that they had experienced jamming problems, apparently due to the fact that the M1 is recoil operated. Others claimed the M1 was sensitive to the additional weight of certain accessories, such as fore-end lights, which could also cause the gun to malfunction. In reality, most of those complaints were actually traced back to the use of extremely light, low-recoil loads, which didn’t produce sufficient recoil energy to operate the weapon. We were aware of those stories when we began development of the Benelli shell carriers, and for that reason we ran more tests than normal to be sure that our SureShell saddle rail system didn’t cause a problem. We never experienced any form of malfunction, nor have we had any complaints from our customers. The Benelli M4, of course, is gas operated, and one would believe that it is not susceptable to the same problems that might be encountered with a recoil operated action. In
