borders98 Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 i just bought a new supper black eagle II and was wondering should it have come with a duck plug/shell limiter with it, i can't seem to find it with my new gun, This is my 1st Bennelli THANKS Quote
tucker301 Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Yes, all new guns should have a limiter plug with them. Did you look inside the magazine tube where it's supposed to be? If you bought it from a dealer, go back and ask for one. If not, then you can ask Benelli for one. Meanwhile, if you need to go waterfowl hunting before you can get one, you can cut a 1/4 - 3/8 dowel rod to limit the magazine capacity to 2 shells (make sure to test with 2-3/4" and 3-1/2"), and use that.

HOGWILD Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) The plug in my SBEII 2003 Model was 4" in length! http://www.benelliusa.com/parts_and_accessories/miscellaneous.php the short one! Pencils worked on other shotguns and were AG&F approved! Open owners Manual, it shows how to remove and install it! Edited January 15, 2009 by HOGWILD Quote
c10250 Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 I am by no means an expert, however, I believe the SBE II needs no plug since it holds three shells at most. My new SBE II has no plug. Quote

You may want to recheck that. A magazine capacity of three, such as the SBEII with no limiter plug installed, is illegal for migratory birds (except for Spring Snow Geese). Quote
c10250 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 What I meant to say was that the gun holds three. One in the chamber, two in the magazine. Sorry. Anyway, that's the way it came . . . Don't know if you can change it or not. Quote
tucker301 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Yes, it can be changed. Yours has the limiter plug installed. Quote
MRgeese Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 If you remove the end cap that holds the barrel on, look in the center of the retaining ring and you should see a red plastic piece. that will be your plug. mine was already in the mag when I bought it. Quote
c10250 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Wow. You learn something every day. How do I get it out? Quote
leftie Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) if its like the m2 you can use snapring pliers on the end cap but keep your hand over the spring and plug and cap come out quick with presure from the spring , hope this helps Edited January 16, 2009 by leftie Quote
leftyone Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 mine came already in the mag when i bought mine in Nov. Quote
HOGWILD Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Strongly suggest reading the Owners Manual and if ya do not have one they are on line on this site. No excuse for not reading it front to back! Starts on page 90 in online manual! Quote
tucker301 Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Strongly suggest reading the Owners Manual +10000000 I wonder sometimes what kind of gun owning population we're building out there. There's no excuse for not knowing your firearms, butt to muzzle. I'm against more government control, but sometimes a firearms aptitude test for ownership sounds like the right thing to do. Quote
duckhunter888 Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Wow. You learn something every day. How do I get it out? Lightly pry off the retainer over it and it will come right out. Quote

There's no excuse for not knowing your firearms, butt to muzzle. I'm against more government control, but sometimes a firearms aptitude test for ownership sounds like the right thing to do. I have to disagree with you there. Gun safety is a must. I'm not arguing that. I've been hunting for 30 years now, and have owned many guns. However, you don't need to know them butt to muzzle in order to safely operate one. That's like saying you have to know how to change an alternator in your car before you should be allowed to drive one. Crazy. Quote
HOGWILD Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 If you have never had a magazine spring almost put your eye out cause you were to lazy to read the cautions and warnings then why even have a manual? HELLO!! I did not think i needed to read my manual but after about 2 hours of asking my self stupid questions i read it from front to back and i learned a lotta good to know ITALIAN Shotgun stuff, which most of it is completely different than an American Shotgun, all the more reason to RTFM!!

tucker301 Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 c10250, You've owned and used shotguns for thirty years, yet you had no clue that YOUR SBEII came with a limiter plug. That's amazing, in a very sad way. I think you fall into the category of people who should certainly RTFM. Especially if you're going to give advice to others about it. Quote
