My BIL and I just purchased SBE3 BE.S.T model 20 gauge 28" barrel guns. I have disassemble and reassemble M2's, SBE's, SBE2's, SBE3's many times in the past. All have gone together very easily. Both of our guns take what seems like an excessive amount of force to tighten the fore end cap onto the magazine tube tight enough to snug the barrel and top of the action into place. I weigh 210lbs and I have to put the butt of the gun on the ground and lean into the barrel while tightening t he fore end cap to snug it all together. Has anyone else had this experience? I'm wondering if the spring in the fore end has more tension from the BE.S.T. coating process. It just seems a little off from my past benelli experience but maybe it will loosen up with some usage. Please advise.
