I bought a new sbeii and took it on a 3 day duck hunt. I fired 3 boxes of 12 guage 3.5" kent fasteel through the gun.
3 times the gun did not eject the spent shell. The bolt did not go back and I had to manually move the bolt back to eject the shell.
When this happened, I just fired 3 shells through the gun as ducks flew by with no problems, then I only had time to add 1 more in the chamber and 0 in the magazine for a follow up. It was the 1 shell in the chamber that would not eject with 0 in the magazine.
I saw some posts about the recoil surface (shoulder)causing problems with inertia drive. However in the benelli videos, the guys are shooting the guns from the shoulder, hip, up side down, over their heads, etc. So I think the gun should work at my shoulder with 3 jackets on.
Any ideas?
Thanks
