I have a Franchi I-12 it has the same bolt and action as the Benelli SBE. Last year at the end of duck season my bolt handle fell off while shooting at some ducks. After a couple weeks of searching online I finally found a bolt handle for a Benelli SBE, 40 bucks later my gun was back in commission just in time for the west side pheasant opener. Well yesterday after an hour of hunting, rooster down and another bolt handle gone. Instead of spending another 40 bucks on a bolt handle I was wondering if it would do any damage to my gun to shoot it without the bolt handle in it?
