Hey guys I was out recently hunting when my Super Black Eagle malfunctioned on me. I was shooting Fiocchi (high brass) #4's and my gun failed to ejected the round, which I found very odd because it always ejects high brass reliably. I manually ejected the shell and reloaded the next on into the chamber. When the opportunity arose to fire the weapon again, I pulled the trigger and nothing happened. The trigger would not depress all the way to the firing position, and the hammer would not release. I then took the gun home, disassembled it then cleaned it. After I put it back together, I tried to fire the weapon again, with the same result. So i disassembled the weapon again, and compared the firing mechanism to my cousins Super Black Eagle. I found something very strange, the hammer on my shotgun was getting held in a locked position all the way back. It appeared SBE's have two safeties, but I am not sure, because I am not a GUNsmith. However upon comparing them I realized that the hammer was being held in different positions on my shotgun than on my cousins shotgun. I was wondering what causes this to happen, and what I need to do to try to fix it. I have taken the gun completely apart and cleaned it, but the problem is still there. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
