  1. Yip, Im interested in what the problem could be too!
  2. If it's folding brass back, then it can't be the recoil spring. Maybe a burr on barrel or chamber, or some kind of barrel--receiver alignment problem. Have you tried taking the barrel off and just dropping shells into the chamber and seeing how they fit? They ought to just fall in.
  3. where's the brass catching on the gun ? Does the shell start into the barrel then hang?
  4. Break free clp is my best friend now! Cleaned both guns with it, shot 3 boxes of 3.5 steel through them today.... shot just like new guns... cycled fast . Temperature this morning was 25 with 30 mph winds.. wind chill 13. And they both cycled like it was a 80 degree day. I cleaned both recoil springs through the plunger end and it solved all problems. Big problem for the ducks and geese! ....... Just say no to rem oil......
  5. Dogshine, what were you cleaning and lubing it with?
  6. I basically heated it at the contact point , where the nut and tube meet. Actually heating the tube should expand the tube and let the nut come out. But I didnt want to tear anything up, so I quit and just cleaned it through the plunger end. We are in the middle of waterfowl season so I don't want any major gun problem. I let ya know tomorrow if the break free was the ticket or not.
  7. How do they get the whole tube out of the receiver?
  8. I tried several times with a good heat gun and could'nt get it to budge. Rounded the thin nut off so I quit.
  9. Yip, me too. I felt like I was gunna tear the tube out of the receiver so I quit. Poor design by benelli. But I do feel like I got her clean and lubed using the break free. Let us know what you do and how it comes out... oops ..or not . Good luck
  10. Spoon, I gave up after several attempts tonight.I tried the heatgun, didnt work. The reason I wanted mine out was I had already tried carb. cleaner and break cleaner , puting it in from the top side . I depressed the plunger and kept sloshin it in while workin the plunger with a cleanin rod. Well that was last week. It seemed to work till I took it back out in the cold. It helped but still was acting slow. So tonight I cleaned the whole thing with break free, doing the plunger depress deal again. It now feels like a brand new one. I have two sbe 1 , their brothers. I think my problem started when the rem oil I was using got too thick and started to sludge them up. No more rem oil for me. Watching real close when cleaning with the breakfree and brush I could see it taking off a real light sludge that the break cleaner was missing. Ill know in a week if she'll work out in the cold conditions. But both guns now feel like new ones
  11. Does anyone know how to remove this spring?
  12. Does it have a recoil spring and tube like a sbe 1 ? Maybe someone will chime in that has experience taking the spring out .
  13. Tryin to find out how to remove the recoil spring in my sbe1. I've takin the stock off and tried heating the stud/nut that is on the back end of the recoil tube, but it doesnt budge. Would like to get the spring out for inspection and cleaning. Was told this was how to do it , but it aint working. The action on the gun has slowed down in very cold temps, and this is the only place I cant get cleaned besides just running break cleaner down threw plunger end of the tube,like I've already done. The action works good in warm temps , without oil on it ,but slows down in the cold , so Im thinking I still have some old oil or sludge in it , that is slowing it down in the cold. Thanks for any help.
