Fix my gun / Modding Holy failure to extract

Post image

First time out on the M3500 Waterfowl.

Night before I cleaned and lube it to remove that thick lubricant factory puts on. Heard it was giving people a headache.

First box of clay shells went by with no issues. Things fell apart after 1 shot of 3.5inch. Failed to extract that one and after that it was 50 50 if it would fail to extract or eject. With a few working properly for the 2nd shell and the fail for the 3rd. Tried to feed a shell without extracting the shot one too sometimes. A general headache.

Benelli M2 extractor and spring have been ordered. Will do another cleaning to see how it goes next time.

Anybody here with similar issues ?

Yeah, if it’s slipping off the rim that benelli extractor will likely sold the issue, good luck and update once you’ve done the upgrade

I cant figure out why it happened after the first 3.5inch shell, it was running flawlessly prior

My m3500 is extremely ammo picky. Runs great with some ammo, won’t extract with others. I got a good deal on several flats of Challenger target load, and the extractor would not grip the casing.

It was so bad I had to buy a SxS to use up that Challenger ammo.
