LOCK PLATE
The heart of Benelli's Steel Locking System is a solid steel breech block that locks directly to the rear of the barrel. This contains all pressure from the shotshell inside and prevents its transfer to the receiver and hinge pins.
Steel locking system
Benelli's patented steel locking system eliminates wear and tear on the receiver and hinge that can cause traditional O/U's to fail. By incorporating this locking system into an aluminum receiver, we created a stronger, safer, lighter O/U that's perfectly balanced and weighs only 6.5 pounds.
