  1. It's pretty universal that the action needs to be broken-in on any semi-auto shotgun. The glorious SBEII is no exception. You will find some difficulty shooting lighter rounds with the gun out-of-the-box. Because of stiff springs and just general-stiffness, the SBEII will probably not cycle consistently.

     

    Not to worry! When you do break it in, you will have the all-in-one gun for which you are looking. Just give it a lot of love for one weekend, ice your shoulder, and you're ready to go! Better yet, take that buddy of yours who can handle anything (we all have one) and make him shoot a half dozen boxes of mags through it for you. :D

  2. I would guess that one would want to try to break it in some before putting unknown rounds through it. Shoot a hefty stack of mag loads through it before you go.

  3. I had also heard that. I read that RNT has done something in recent years to help with the sticking. Don't know if that is verifiable or not... probably should just give them a ring.

     

    I found a used original over at the 'Fuge for $70. Looks to be in killer shape, but old enough to have a sticker. So, maybe I'll send it in for engraving and a bit o' love when I get it.

  4. Looking to get into my first high-dollar call. Tried a few and liked the RNT Original. Goofed around on it a little bit and enjoyed it, but didn't get to test its range. Clearly, it has great hail potential. How is its bottom end?

  5. I'd strip down your mag-tube and make sure that you aren't forcing the plunger against some obstruction or a ding in the tube. FOLLOW YOUR MANUAL! That tube is under some spring pressure. If you don't feel comfortable, by all means take it to your nearest gunsmith.

     

    Forcing is bad.

  6. Greetings fellow Benelli-ites!

     

    Been a while and I come bearing a question... My Nova is showing wear on the inside of the reciever where the top of the bolt travels. There appears to be a thin layer of plastic (polymer, whatever) coming off of the metal piece underneath. The plastic looks to only be 1/32" or so at that point in the reciever, so I was wondering if it wasn't expected to last and was just some over-molding.

     

    Thanks!

  7. Yeah. Zidane ensured that I wasn't rooting for France. What a pathetic way to end a career. The guy has a good international reputation as a soccer player and to be red-carded off the field AND then to have your team lose... sad.

  8. You're in good hands. If anyone can dig something like that up, it'll be M1014. It's almost scary the amount of information the guy has.
