tdaggett Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Anyone have any experience with the SureCycle replacement for the SBE II recoil spring assy? Duck season is over and it's time to stay in shape with some skeet shooting. It is well documented that the factory setup doesn't like light target loads so thinking of upgrading(?) to the sure cylce. Any Comments?

tucker301 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Have you tried yours with light loads? No need to spend the money if it's not needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdaggett Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Light loads dont seem to cycle well at all (around 75%) unless the gun is spotless and fresh from a very thorough cleaning and LOTS of lube, especially if the magazine extension is installed. Yesterday I had the mag ext. and the Steadygrip stock on. Could the extra weight have been a factor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riceducker Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Upgrading to a sure cycle system will not make the gun shoot light loads. SBE II is a hunting gun designed for heavy loads. No need for a sure cycle in the newer Benelli's, they have a rust resistant tube and spring. My M1 Super 90 cycled 1 oz. loads until I put a sure cycle in it. I put the sure cycle in to stop the rusting of the recoil spring and tube. My gun is used for duck hunting and it gets soaked often. I have to use 3 1/4 dram 1 1/8 oz. loads in it to function properly. That is what I use for targets and Dove hunting. Works perfectly with those loads. Your gun will probably cycle the 3 1/4 dram loads. Try them first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Yes, the extra weight matters. The weight reduces the amount of energy transferred to the recoil spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
