Ok, let me first start off by saying the first shotgun I every bought (and still own) was a Benelli Nova with a 26" vent rib barrel. It shoots just as good now as the day I got it.
Now, about 1.5 years ago I bought a slightly used Super Nova Tactical (pistol grip version) and I put a Benelli extension on it to make it 7+1. But for some reason the pump action on the Super Nova SUCKS compared to my old Nova. And if I have 7, or even just 6 shells loaded and I go to champer a round, it spits it out the bottom because the piece that guides the shell in when loading gets pushed up on it's own when racking the action back, instead of moving down like it's supposed to. I have the spring in that came with the the extension tube, so I'm pretty sure it's the gun.
Back to my old Nova... The pump action on it is smooth and crips. If I were to have the gun standing upright and pressed the pump release button the foregrip will fall about half way down just by gravity. But I tried the same thing on my Super Nova and the foregrip doesn't move at all. It is very tight, even when lubed up really well. And I know the two allen bolts on the foregrip are not too tight, but are rather loose.
Does anybody that has experience with the Nova have any idea what's causing this???
*EDIT* I went shooting with both my Nova's today and my Super Nova Tactical began to spit shells I was trying to chamber out the bottom like I mentioned above... BUT this time it would do it even if there was only 2 shells in the tube!
