Title: Light primer strikes on benneli nova- what spring to replace?
Post by: NW-GSP on November 20, 2013, 09:16:15 PM: I have had this gun since 2004 and have over 10,000 rounds through this gun and had issues with light primer strikes the last time I was out hunting. I think it possibly could have been gunk built up around the firing pin but have decided to replace the firing pin and the spring that controls the firing pin being struck.

I think the spring is number 26 in the schematic
