Wolf Spring

Post by vaturkey »

I installed a wolf spring in my Benelli M2 20 Ga & could really see a difference in the way the bolt slams shut. It was a nice upgrade for 14.99. BUT ! If you decide to take it dove huntin make sure you put the stock spring back in. Several times yesterday I had to cycle 2nd shell in chamber. I put the stock spring back in this morning to handle the 2 3/4" low power shells. BOOM BOOM BOOM now ! :thumbup:

I've been considering one for mine, never had an issue, but it's always in the back of my mind. Thanks for the info. What shells were you shooting on your dove hunt? I just wonder the minimum it takes to consistently cycle, even lower power, shells.

Don't know the minimum, but mine would not eject the dove/trap stuff. The Kent 7/8 oz 1560 fps waterfowl loads worked like a charm.

I need to get one for Sals M1 super 90, it is Slooooooooooooooow... Tried finding one for a beretta 391 but they do not make it..

I have a Sure Cycle kit in my X2 and cannot say enough, thing slams harder than a bear trap.. Only problem I have had is I have busted 3 op rod handles since installing.. The factory Op Rods can not handle how hard the action closes.. So now I use a nail :lol: Need to order a Nordic or Briley I guess.

I did that with my M2 20 Pedro after a day of it being a single shot. Sold in 2 days on duckhuntingchat, wished I would have kept it though.

Dang! You weren't playing around. I saw it over on the DHC classifieds. Looks like it took a whole 45 minutes to get some interest. Looks like you'll probably sell quick.

Its not my gun a buddies 391 which is usually a super reliable gun.. He is having some hangups even while clean.. Most the guys I hunt with turn to me for advice on this type of stuff because I am on these forums so much.. I thought the Wolff would be a good alternative to sure cycle for way less coin just to try and see if the problem.. I ended up finding another aftermarket recoil spring manufacture for the Beretta 391 and its Stainless.. So he is gonna order that.. After that, have no clue not familiar with the workings of a 391..

Good question but I think the other spring makes it cycle 100 millionths of a second faster, these guys are so fast they have to wait for the gun to cycle to pull the trigger again, then when the action is all hammered to hell and back the light may come on.

Nothing really. They are a little soft, and come out of battery very easily, and then will not fire, but will shuck a new shell from the magazine when you pull the trigger.
Snagging the bolt handle on brush, clothing usually is the culprit. It has happened to me once or twice, but it's my own fault for being careless.
