A factor you may wish to explore is the channel the firearm is sold. Example, a 20 oz bottle of coke is sold for 1.89 at a grocery store, the same product is sold at a convenience store for 2.89, the same product sold at LAX is nearly $8.00. Same product different channel, different expectation. To often people look at gun values from Gum Broker.com, this is a uniquely different channel to market firearms. Great for customer looking for a unique specific gun, not a great tool to find true used gun values. No changes were made from most Benelli models when Benelli USA started importing. The nostalgia of the H&K import is unique however there are many factors to consider when appraising a used firearm.

Currently servicing 22 Benelli's, M2's M1 Super 90 SBE 1 - 3's they are all cut this way. Thus normal extractor cut.

How well does the camo pattern appear to match between the stock and the receiver, the barrel and the reciever? There was a pistol grip for a SBE 1 that was made however that does not truly answer your question.

The M2 is being resigned thus a new upc/style number. Improvements will include ComForComb Stock, not ComforTech. The M2 is a fantastic product, the generation that is being discontinued is even better than the original M2.

I really like this. CLP is a good product as well for your bolt. Outside of that Mobil 1 super low viscosity.

Another idea would be to scrap this idea, unless the gun is setup correctly you will damage your carrier latch, thus creating a issue in which the carrier latch is bent, either allowing multiple shells release from the magazine or no release from the magazine. M4's perform this task better because there are marketplace offering that have been tested for 7 shot magazines. Most aftermarket companies have no concept of anything that is discussed here other than selling you a 7 shot magazine tube.

Midway USA has this part in stock, Temporarily you could lightly sand yours for better fit. I like ti install these with a little oil and ensure the usage of the correct roll pin punch, Please let me know if I can help.

These barrels are hard to find, watch on EBAY, expect to pay 400 - 500 for one of these and be very patient.

The SBE 3 in Labrador Gray is from the Performance shop. This gun went to Rob Roberts for customization. This included and not limited to, extended forcing cone, 3 Rob Roberts choke tubes a sling, RR bolt handle, RR magazine release, computer tested with test target. The gun also has the BEST finish a 25 year finish warranty and a carbon Fiber Rib. This Performance Shop model will no longer be sent to Rob Roberts, thus you may getting the last of this Performance Shop model. Most of these models have been patterning very nice 60/40 or 50/50 patterning, providing the gun is shot with a flat rib, (the gun fits you) Please let me know how I can help.

UPDATE: SEEING THIS CONDITION MORE FREQUENTLY WITH OTHER SHOTSHELL SIZES - CHECK YOUR AMMO

Home General Discussion Benelli Understanding Light Strikes Cause & Effect Understanding Light Strikes Cause & Effect Over the past several years I have found many more Benelli with bolt heads that are full of debries - causing light strikes. This is one of many causes of the issue. Here is a series of photo's that documents the issue fairly well and how to eliminate this as a cause of light strikes. This could lead to better insights when deep cleaning your Benelli at the end of the year as well.

Ensure to inside of your bolt head is clean, more specifically where the firing pin travels through the bolt. Worked on many Benelli's with a lot of debris in tghis area which caused light strikes.

I will check this for you.

Retail channels are how businesses sell their products or services to end consumers. These include physical stores, online shops and marketplaces, mobile apps, social media platforms—all of which are means of connecting sellers with buyers. There is different expectation as well as service differentiation in the channels in which products are sold. Two great examples of this are : Pricing – a 20 oz coke product the discount grocery store cost 1.49, the same product at a service gas station could cost 2.49 or higher, this same 20 oz coke could cost 5.00 at LAX airport. Truly different pricing for different channels. Service differentiation could be similar, most customer do not think they should have to wait in line at a grocery store for more than one person, the same customer is more comfortable waiting in line in their car at the coffee shop, 5 cars deep. The same customer has no problem waiting in line at the Ryder Cup 200 deep to buy a T Shirt. Different channels different expectation. Your examples prove this to be true. Gun Broker customer has very different expectation not only in price but service. The example of a H&K SBE selling for $2000,00, I have sold nicer ones for under $1,000.00. You are correct as well about changes to the gun through the evolution of the product, most of these for the better. I do think however you prefer to bring these changes together because of timing of importation. There have been changes to SBE throughout the years, some folks are willing to pay a premium for a H&K Benelli. From your posts you are not one of these customers. I sell Benelli new and used, work on Benelli’s, closing in on 2 thousand of them, love the brand. I do not price H&K Benelli higher than USA imported Benelli’s. I get the nostalgia. There are customers who shop Gun Broker who will pay extra for these guns, as well as many others. These customers are great example of differentiation – different expectations for different channels, not necessarily the product.

Replace it with a Limbsaver 10810, perfect fit. The Vinci pad was very soft and will deterorate over time. Your gun is more than likely out of warranty, however the part oem part has not been available for some time.

A diiferent carrier latch would be needed for this install. Rob Roberts maybe coming with a new version that could be installed on a standard carrier latch.

I do not find this information to be accurate. There are no differnces between a H&K version SBE vs a Benelli USA SBE, there were several improvement made in the later years of the SBE. One of which includes the ejector. When evaluating used Benelli's, no consideration is given time of importation. This would be true in a retail channel not necessarily on Gun Broker which is truely a differnt channel to market guns. The Blue Book of Guns provides no additional value for a SBE year of importation. I love H&K vesrsions equally as Benelli USA versions.

The BEST finish SBE 3's all have carbon ribs, the BEST finish will not adhere to ribs that are standards on other SBE 3 models. The Carbon ribs will not breask off or fall off. This would be caused by abuse. I would say Carbon Ribs may not be wise for a hunter who is going to bang his SBE 3 around in a aluminum boat. The ribs is replaceable if ever needed. Some of the ribs will have a little play in them, this is because of how it is mounted to the barrel and is secured by a set screw. There are many SBE 3 models with or without carbon fiber ribs. Choose a model that fits your needs.

Please post a photo, be glad to assist.

All shotguns have point of aim issues when they do not fit you properly. If you do not see your rib as noted in the image, you will have point of aim issues because you have no reference point on how you are actually pointing your shotgun. Generally speaking in shotgun fitting your shot will follow your eye, when you looking down on your rib you are pointing the gun much higher than yiou think. When working through point of aim issues the correct language should be: I am shooting my gun high but do not understand why. Please let me know if I can help.

Quadra Fit has either a left handed cast SX or a right handed cast DX. On the M2 there are no 3 MM or 6MM variations of the cast shims. My hunch is your eye maybe moving too far to the right and you are correcting this by moving the barrel to the left, thus shooting the gun left. You may want to try to cast this gun left handed and try to pattern the gun again. Benelli Pattern Specs: Center of pattern may be: Up to 2" left or right of point of aim Up to 5" above POA Up to 2" below POA At 21 Yards

All Benelli firearms are now date stamped. Your firearm has a 10 year warranty in most cases.
