Hello folks,

I have an M1S90 and have disassembled it many times before, including the bolt carrier/bolt assembly.

Tonight I disassembled the entire bolt assembly without a hitch. This includes the removal, relubrication of the thick inertia srping that resides in the bolt.

I reassembled the bolt assembly as per instructions, but this time I noticed something that I've never noticed before. I can actually hear the inertia spring rattle back & forth in the bolt body. Is this normal??!! I have NEVER noticed this sound before. The gun assembles just fine, and the action is as smooth as glass, and yes, the bolt FULLY closes.

Everything is as it should be, but I'm just a little puzzled about this inertia spring noise that I have never noticed before.

Thanks in advance,
Jim

Yes this is a normal sound.  I have two Benelli's and they do the same thing.  Great guns.
