  1. NJ, may be a late reply on this post but.. I've had a few fail to ejects with my SBE2 as well- specifically with the federal 1 3/8 oz No 5's (1500fps). Every other shell has cycled perfectly (~750 rounds, everything from 2 3/4 1oz to 3 1/2 BB). I've had 2 FTE's on the same day (30 rounds) and my buddy with a SBE2 lefty had the same problem (different box of shells). I'm curious how others have had the shell jam- mine seems to eject the spent shell but it gets stuck horizontally (new shell blocked from chambering by the brass end of the spent one). Like I said its only happened a couple of times but thats two lost birds =) 1n
  2. One vote for the "break in" believers. Ran 50-75 heavy loads as suggested and bolt was barely sticking. Shot 6 rounds of skeet and a couple 5 stand since and its cycling perfectly. Great shotgun. Tucker- thanks for the pdf link, I wish the benelli manual had pictures/details like that. 1n
  3. Yep, this is the plan - I'm headed to the range on sunday and let you all know how it turns out. Again thanks for your replies.
  4. Thanks for the quick replies. To clarify my previous post - the bold IS staying open when I pull it back with the drop lever visible. If I give it a slight push, or carefully push the loading gate down (thing that feeds the shell into the chamber) it will close and and fully engage - the bolt slides freely after a certain point. I wonder if a good cleaning and re-lube will fix this - I really dont want to take it back...
  5. Hi all, I just bought a new (well display model) super black eagle 2 after months of comparing and trying different semi-autos. I cant wait to take it to the range but since its been raining straight for the past 2 days I'm stuck in the basement taking it apart and putting back together =). Anyway, this is my first semi auto and I have a question about the bolt release (or special carrier control button- as the manual calls it) and the cartridge drop lever. When I open the bolt and the drop lever is down (red dot visible) the bolt release will not close the bolt (I have to push the bolt a bit to get it to slide shut). If the drop lever is up ( no red visible) and i pull the bolt open then the release button works. Is this normal? I thought that the bolt release should work whether the drop lever is engaged or not. I'm probably just paranoid because this firearm was a floor model but I appreciate any insight from the forum members. Thanks..
