SURE-CYCLE SYSTEM (SRM)

[dr_grumpy]

Hi....has anybody tried one of these devices?? I am having continued problems with cycling of my M1 Practical!! Any views would be gratefully received before I invest!! Cheers

What type of problems are you encountering?

 

Depending on the weapon you have, the system can significantly speed up the speed of the action.

 

I highly suggest sending Jeff an e-mail over at:

I have plans to have my Benelli M4 done probably some time this year. Look into the magazine tube upgrades as well.

I learmed how to clean my Benellis back in 1991.

 

About once a year, I tear down the recoil assembly, polish the inside of the recoil spring tube, check the recoil spring and replace if necessary.

 

No problems in the last 14 years or so.

 

I'm sure the SureCycle works, but so does regular maintenance.

 

I do like the SS mag tube kit though - I have that in all my Benellis....

I have to agree with Mudhen on this one! But I have a Stainless recoil assembly in my SBEII also that came with it!

The SBE II does not have a stainless recoil spring tube, just a better one than before....

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I will give it a whirl! Problems I've been having include very slow cycling or action sticking back so I have to slam the action forward....happens every other shot which isn't very helpful in practical shotgun comps!! Mag parts look good - but in UK we don't have a limit on mag size so I've got a 16 round and an enormous 22 round tube.....great for long field stages but not close tactical work!!...and I think they only make 8 rounders?

Could it be possible that the weight of a full mag. is affecting the inertia system's performance by overdampening the recoil?

[dr_grumpy]

Yes.....that's what the guys at SureCycle think.........but luckily they've developed a 'competition' system that will over come the problem.

I'd love to see some pictures of this...

[big fish]

Thats like 5 or 6 FEET long!

The limey's puttin us on

[dr_grumpy]

I can mail you some pics....not sure I can post them on here can I?? Around 5-6ft is the norm for Open in UK.......the Italians have even longer tubes!!

I agree with Mudhen. Cleaning and oiling go a long way. Just because something is aftermarket doesnt mean it's better, but I'm sure the local shop will appreciate your patronage. The "competition" Sure Cycle spring may help feed, but if the gun is too heavy it will certainly slow the action. Why people refuse to oil the internal workings of a gun is still a mystery to me.

Yep, that is good regular maintence that very few people do. I admit, I tried to get the tube off my SBEII and put it away for the summer and couldn't, so I skipped it. I hope I don't regret it.

Steven,

 

That Surecycle requires heating of the receiver to remove & replace the stock recoil tube housing. You sure you want to do that? Is it really an upgrade? I have on good authority that the issue M1014's are impressing users in the sandbox in stock trim.
