Everytime I shoot it just clicks, doesn't fire. I'm in the field so is there anything I can do to fix the problem while out here? It was doing similar yesterday but I managed to get it to shoot once I have no idea what the problem is. Thanks

Clear it out
Break it down
Check bolt and operating group for proper function and seating.

When you chamber the 1st round, do you let the bolt slam shut. I had this issue if i eased the bolt forward.

I knew the answer to that as soon as I read the title.

I like the new ones. One will be my next semi auto shotgun.

New ones don't have rings.

I would not take it down in the field.

Don't you already have a Benelli?

Remove the ComforTech stock and you will have a new A5.

do you have a sharpie with you? if you do color the primer on a shell and fire it and see if you can you see if the firing pen is making any contact with the primer you could have a broken firing pen
