sbe hanging up

[hightech1953]

hi guys, i need a honest answer . i have a sbe 1 that is hanging up about every 7 th or 8th round. it doens't matter if it 3" heavy loads or 3 1/2 rounds. the gun has about 300 rounds through it. all heavy loads!!!

 

help ,,,,,,,,,,please

One suggestion I've seen in instances like this is that maybe the gun isn't being shouldered tight enough for the inertia system to cycle properly.

 

That's easy enough to believe, especially if it's been fired 7 or 8 times consecutively, or one right after the other.

Umm....If you were to shoulder the gun too tightly it would NOT work. You can fire the gun "from the hip" and it will cycle.

 

Try switching ammo manufacter, especially if winchester, as some have reported problems

 

 

BTW: If you shoot yourself or someone else while shooting from the hip, it is your own fault.

Is this the part we're supposed to get used to?

 

The weapon is designed to use the kinetic energy (inertia) generated from the discharge of a properly shouldered shotgun.

I assume hanging up means it is not cycling. When I have this problem a good cleaning has always solved the problem. The only time a cleaning won't do is if I am shooting light 7/8 oz loads, but with clean gun and 1 oz loads I have had no problems. I have original springs still in it, I hear some non benelli springs are stiffer. If I put mercery stock recoil reducer plus the limbsaver recoil pad on at same time skeet loads will not always cycle.
