  1. My hunting buddy was telling me this happened to his SBE. I was as surprised as he was that it happened. It happened with 2 days left in the season last year. When I went to duck camp this year it came up in conversation again but I didn't really give it much thought until the 3rd day of the season when the same exact thing happened to my SBE. Talk about ruining my trip and my season since it's going to take 6 weeks to get it fixed. I called Benelli and they told me exactly where to send it and what to do to get it fixed which was very helpful. Even though my SBE was manufactured in Nov 94 and my buddies was manufactured in Sept 95, Benelli fixed them under warranty but that doesn't help me this season. As for the comment that a loose cap can cause it to break, I never had to re-tighten the cap on my gun so I don't think that was the issue. When some of the other guys we hunt with showed up at camp we started looking at all the SBE's and it looks like they all have a poor weld. You can see light under the ring where the weld should be. You would think if Benelli knew about this flaw they would ask us to examine our barrels and send in the bad ones during the off season so guys like me don't end up screwed during the season. Just my thoughts.
