Hello All, I have been hunting all morning and have been experiencing tons of problems with my SBE II. Here's the situation. My SBE is my favorite gun, and I treat it as such. The gun is immaculate and has been kept that way since I purchased it. The gun was clean when I went out to the duck blind this morning. I was shooting Hevi-Shot so I highly doubt it was not cycling because of the ammo type. The primary problem I was having was failure to feed. The gun would fire the initial shot, then the bolt would get "jammed up" in the rear position. It was raining steadily. Any suggestions. Thanks as always.

I bought a new sbeii and took it on a 3 day duck hunt. I fired 3 boxes of 12 guage 3.5" kent fasteel through the gun. 3 times the gun did not eject the spent shell. The bolt did not go back and I had to manually move the bolt back to eject the shell. When this happened, I just fired 3 shells through the gun as ducks flew by with no problems, then I only had time to add 1 more in the chamber and 0 in the magazine for a follow up. It was the 1 shell in the chamber that would not eject with 0 in the magazine. I saw some posts about the recoil surface (shoulder)causing problems with inertia drive. However in the benelli videos, the guys are shooting the guns from the shoulder, hip, up side down, over their heads, etc. So I think the gun should work at my shoulder with 3 jackets on. Any ideas? Thanks
