Instruction Manual

WARNING: if the stock spacer “8” doesn't

remain inside the stock, reassemble it with the

seat of plate “4” facing the buttpad.

4) Assemble the drop shim “7” that you have

selected onto the recoil spring tube with the

stamped letter facing the stock.

5) Reassemble the selected cast shim “6” with

the stamped letter (D.X. or S.X.) facing

toward the stock.

6) Point the barrel towards the floor and assem-

ble the stock, insert the plate “4” in the stock

itself with the stamped letter facing the butt-

pad.

7) Assemble the lock washer “3” and nut “2”

on the recoil spring tube and tighten firmly.

8) To replace the buttpad, push it firmly against

the buttstock to replace it to its original posi-

tion (fig. 57).

WARNING: always use drop shims “7”, cast

shims “6” and stock locking plates “4” with the

corresponding lettering, e.g. C - CDX - DX or C -

CSX - SX. The use of component parts with dif-

ferent letters may cause permanent deformation

of the recoil spring tube with as a result, bolt slid-

ing problems.

WARNING: once stock has been replaced, make

sure that it is correctly retained to the receiver.

After having fired the first few rounds, repeat

check and if necessary, fix the stock again by

removing the buttpad again and tightening the

nut again by using appropriate wrench.

Having altered the stock drop of the shotgun,

you have also obviously altered the firing posi-

tion as well: it is therefore necessary that you

first practise by executing some shots in order to

make sure that the firing position is suitable to

your size and shooting style.

NOTE: due to the softness of the material of

which the Benelli gel recoil pad is constructed,

the pad is more succeptable to rough use, includ-

ing excessive abrasion and exposure to sharp

edges. Such exposure can lead to superficial sur-

face damage. Superficial surface damage will not

result in a loss of the shock absorbing performan-

ce of the gel pad.
