Here's some additional info I just sent Benelli: I have a Super Black Eagle 2 and when I fire, the cartridge drop lever does not remain in the down position, causing the action to remain open after the first shot. To "fix" the issue, I must press the ejector on the inside of the action to close the action. Same issue, different scenario: When gun is unloaded, I dry fire it and the portion of the cartridge drop lever that should remain exposed retracts inside the action. I pull back the bolt (with some force since it feels almost stuck) and the action remains open since the cartridge drop lever "pressed itself". I press the button to close the action, and the cartridge drop lever appears once again, but only slightly and the action stays open once again. If I open and close the action a few times, the cartridge drop lever seems to jolt itself back down as originally expected, which would allow a subsequent fire if the gun were loaded. Any idea what is wrong? If I have to send it in to Benelli, how long is your current lead time? Thanks, Brad

Hey the @remarkable. Sorry for the VERY long delayed response. The spring is in and installed correctly. In fact, its never been removed. Would you happen to be willing to have a phone call about this?

Hey there. I've got an SBE2 and have put 1000s of rounds through it over the years. This season I noticed the Cartridge Drop Lever (the button on the side of the trigger assembly which holds the bolt back when pressed) is not returning to the down position (so the red dot shows) after I fire. To get it to return as expected, I need to press a lever on the inside of the action, "clicking" the button down. Any idea why this is? The gun is very well cleaned and this has never happened before. Thanks, Brad
