Bill Kemp Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Hello: I just purchased a Super Black Eagle II and would like to ask if anyone knows how the little bead site is placed in the middle of the barrel. It appears to be slightly off of centre and I was wondering if it can be adjusted. Can anyone answer the following questions: 1. Is the bead (back site) screwed in, pressed in, or glued into place. 2. It appears as though the little ball of the bead is not exactly in the centre of the base of the site. Is this on purpose. IE can it be rotated so that it moves so that it can be rotated into perfect sighting alignment? 3. How would a person adjust, or remove this bead site so that it is exactly in the centre of the vented ramp. Thanks for all of your help. Newbie Benelli owner.

hognutz Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 First of all, welcome to the world of Benelli!! Secondly, I'm not sure how the mid bead is anchored. What I would do before I got too crazy about moving the bead a couple of thousanths, is to go and pattern the gun. When that is done, shoot some trap, birds or whatever. You will probably find that you look right over the mid bead when shooting, not even seeing it. I would guess that some use it, but I would also guess that most don't. I do not.

michaelap Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 The center bead is threaded in. I removed mine because I wasn't used to shooting with it. Use a pair of pliers to grab the bead and just spin out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kemp Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Thanks very much for the info. I take it that the bead is threaded into the barrel. Is there any lok tight on it? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hognutz Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I would guess that there is. They use it on the bead on the end of the bbl. It is not the red type, so you should able to unscrew it easily, without heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Bill, By chance are you left handed shooting a right handed gun or vice verse? I am left handed, my M2 20 being a right handed gun, the middle bead has so far, miss alined with the front bead it was distracting. So I changed to the stock locking plate for DX to SX and they line up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Bill, If you intend on using the middle bead, then you'll need to contact Benelli about getting properly centered. It can be removed, but there is no user adjustment to getting it centered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kemp Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Hello everyone: Thanks for all of the info. I was able to unscrew the bead very easily and when done I noticed that the little ball on the end was not exactly 100% centred. I then put it back in, this time with removable locktite and centred the bead perfectly. I know that this seems very minor but I like everything I own to be absolutely perfect. Thanks again for all of the assistance. Bill:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
