Benelli ETHOS Shotgun - Manual (Page 48)

Shotgun assembly
For correct assembly after cleaning and mainte-
nance operations, proceed as follows:
1) Cock the hammer (fig. 44). Grip the stock-
receiver assembly, press the carrier button
and insert the complete trigger guard
assembly - with the hammer cocked - into the
receiver. Make sure that the front of the trigger
guard makes firm contact with the stop (fig.
45).
2) Push the trigger guard pin into the receiver
from the right or left, until it is completely
inside (fig. 46).
3) Slide the bolt recoil spring into its appropriate
position (fig. 47).
NOTE: always make sure that the bolt recoil
spring is positioned between the locking head
and the bolt itself, in order to avoid a shot being
fired during the closing phase.
4) Slide the locking head into the bolt, making
sure that the hole on its stem coincides with
the slot on the bolt (fig. 48).
WARNING: the slanted surfaces on the locking
head’s stem should not be visible once the bolt
locking head is mounted.
5) Insert the locking head pin in its hole on the
locking head’s stem, through the slot on the
bolt (fig. 49).
NOTE: the reference line on top of the pin must
be visible and aligned with the bolt assembly
longitudinal axis (fig. 49).
