Had time to finally take the gun out yesterday. Fired 1 1/4 oz 2.75 shells out of it and everything cycled fine!!! Awesome gun. Thanks for all the help! Derek

Bambihunter, Thanks for the info. Yes it has a set of the screw in chokes with threads. I see 4 in individual containers and one currently in the barrel and there is also a removal tool. There is a "BS" stamped by the trigger that i have read means the gun was manufacured in 2002. Here is a picture of how i received it from my brother, before i put it together

Thank you for the response!! I got it all put together tonight, and will try it out next week with some heavy loads. Im going to order a new recoil spring just to have if i run into any issues!! Thanks again! Derek

My father passed a few years ago, and we finally split the guns up amongst us brothers. I got his SBE 1. According to the two letter date code, it was made in '02. The gun is brand new in the case and has never had a round put through it. I dont think it was ever assembled as the barrel is still in the plastic. I am wating on a new bolt handle to come in the mail. It must have fallen out at some point as i couldn't find it in the case. Is there anything i should replace before trying to fire this shotgun. I know the firing pin spring is under constant pressure. Will 20 years under pressure cause it any issues??? Thanks for any responses. Dad won the gun in a Superbowl raffle 20 years ago and never did anything with it. Derek
