Feets / Collection / My build Benelli Nova 3 HD Question
So I bought a very lightly used Benelli Nova 3 HD the other day, finally got a case and lock so I tore it down, cleaned it up, and put it back together just about an hour ago.
I watched a TON of teardown videos, most of them several years old unfortunately, but in nearly every single one I noticed 2 things: 1. The pins in the receiver on one side (usually left) have a flat head on them, mine do not, they're just skinny rods; and 2. Removing the trigger piece was really difficult in the videos, but mine practically fell out, and I had zero issues getting this back in.
My question is: Are these things normal? I'm wondering if these differences were fixed with newer versions of the guns (like bolt shape differences especially) or is this something I need to be suspicious of?
Does anyone have a newer Nova 3 HD to compare?
I also never got a manual (which I can find online) or a plug. Anyone know of a cheap site I can buy a plug, or if I don't ever plan on taking this hunting should I just save the money and forget it altogether?
Thanks!
