doghunter Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I just bought a used Super Black Eagle in 12 gauge. The gun looks brand new but will not cycle low brass field loads. It either pulls the hull back without extracting the empty or returns to closed breech without loading another shell. Is it the cheap shells or should I clean the gun? It appears to be fairly clean already. i thought these guns would shoot anything from 2 and 3/4 all the way to 3 and 1/2. Thank for any info!

Lefty81 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Clean it. You should find a very detailed post by Tucker on how to take down and properly clean the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doghunter Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Thanks Lefty! I know how to clean it, just did not appear that dirty. Maybe it's due to all the cold weather..could be a little gummy. I'll research the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 You thought wrong. "Minimum Recommended Load: Use 3-dram, 1-1/8-oz. loads in all Benelli 12-ga. semi-auto shotguns" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiedog Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 It might not be broke in yet. Shoot a bunch of heavy loads through it, but first clean and lube your recoil spring tube good. Thats where they get gummed up with old oil and dirt and ya can't see it. CLP BREAKFREE will make her cycle like a new one in the coldest of conditions.

tracker12 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Found the link? Now I need info on cleaning the recoil spring and tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaston Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Like Tucker said, they are made to shoot heavier loads, but if it isn't pretty clean that can affect its operation as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
