Dragonslayer640 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hey all, I had a SBE stolen about 2 years ago. Well, it was recovered by the local police dept and I just got it back today. The idiot had no idea what he had. It was a SBE Ducks Unlimited Limited Edition that I won from a DU raffle here in town. Problems are, he sawed off the barrel to illegal specs, and he cut off the stock to a pistol handle. The barrel was only 14 1/2 inches. Anyway, I was curious if anyone knew where I could possibly find a replacement stock. I would like to find one with the DU head in the butt plate like it used to have. Should I contact DU and see if they can give me a hand? I can deal with a new barrel and a new stock, but I would like to have one with the DU head. Thanks ahead for your help.

Trapshooter1 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Can you just get a regular stock and swap out the pads? That sucks, glad you got it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 It's not likely that DU would have the furniture. I'd call Benelli CS and explain the situation them and ask what can be done. If they can't help, you'll most likely have to look for a regular stock and forend. What about insurance? The jerk basically destroyed the gun, so they should have to cover it as a complete loss. I'm sure you can find one like on gunbroker or Auction Arms if you look for a while. I'd really push the insurance company for a replacement. One more thing. How the heck do you make a SBE into a pistol grip sawed off and still maintain the recoil spring assembly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottrh2 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 At least you finally got it back and have something to work with. Many never get returned and are destroyed by the LEO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonslayer640 Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 Tucker, I was going to call Benelli tomorrow and see what they can do for me. Like you said, probably not, but it's worth a try. This is why criminals are so #$#T^ stupid, he sawed off the stock, ruining the recoil spring assembly. The gun wouldnt fire if he tried to fire it. He had no idea what he had. I'll let you all know what Benelli says tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapshooter1 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 That brings a new definition to gun ignorance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 No recourse with insurance? The gun was hardly recovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggan Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Did they catch the guy who did it? Do you know any info about him? I have my guesses ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Probably caught a retard with a broken hand from shooting 3.5" magnum loads in his sawed off shotgun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
