Hoosier Hillbilly Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 A quick question about jamming. I have an SBE II with about 10,000 rounds through it. I recently bought three flats of 1.125 oz 1200 fps Remington Gun Clubs (#8s, FWIW) to use at the range. Last weekend out of 200 rounds I had about 10 cases where on the second shot the shell was just resting on the carrier and the carrier was about 1/2 of the way up. (The empty hull was ejected in every case). Soooo...I brought the gun home and tore it down completely and cleaned everything: trigger group, action spring and tube, mag tube and spring, etc. etc. I cleaned everything, relubed, and went back to the range yesterday. And...same thing. Now, I have probably shot about 8000 rounds of target loads through this gun, including 1180 fps 1 oz loads with narry an issue. The only thing I have had to do is replace the action spring. I have not had a chance to pick up some different ammo to see if this makes a difference, but other than that I had done all of the obvious things. Any thoughts? Thanks...

hognutz Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 After a thorough cleaning that made no difference, the next move would be to try different ammo. Unless something broke, I can not imagine anything else that it would be. Buy a case of something different and try it again. Then you will pretty much know if it's the gun. I realize that this advice is a bit on the obvious side, just trying to reinforce you thought process. Let me know how it turns out. Good luck.

cootcommander Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 If it has been a while since you replaced the action spring. I would replace it again. A sales rep from Benelli told me once that if you shoot it alot that the spring should be replaced once a year. just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c rum Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Also replace the mag tube spring along with the recoil action spring and the carrier lifter spring. That should fix your problem. They are all available from Brownells Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
