So which spring are you saying might cause the problem? The extractor right, not the inertia or recoil springs? I regularly disasemble my bolt for cleaning but I have never pulled the extractor spring. I always lightly oil the inertia spring while I'm in there though. Can I even get at the recoil spring? I don't know how to get in there either.

This problem is new though. The gun didn't do it the first two seasons I had it. Perhaps its just Remington shells, I'm not sure. I'm going to make sure to keep track of which shells it happens with from now on.

I have had an SBE for three years and love it. This year I have had a few cyclying problems. I use a variety of shells and I am not sure which shells it has happened with. It has not happened with 2 3/4, but has happened with 3-inch (and 3 1/2 I think - I can't remember for sure) The last instance was with Remington 3-inch steel and it happened once with Remington 3-inch hevi shot. What seems to be happening is the first and second rounds cycle fine, but the third round comes part way out of the chamber while it is cycled into the action and jams the gun with the final round unfired. I do clean it regularly, but it recieves heavy use. Any suggestions?
