Rock Hall Goose'n Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Can any one shed light on a magazine feeding problem I am having? When the first shot is fired, the 2nd shell does not always release from the magazine. This is an older SBE, 7 or 8 years old, not marked H & K. This gun has a lot of milage on it but I wouldn't think the problem is related to wear. I initially thought it was just dirty, but a thorough cleaning did not solve the problem. I am wondering what is causing the problem and whether or not it is something I can fix or if the gun needs to go in for service. I love this gun. Up to this point it has been flawless if kept clean.

Rock Hall Goose'n Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 No dents. I think the problem may be fatique in the spring that operates the release, or the spring getting out of position and not having the proper leverage to work the release.

Rock Hall Goose'n Posted December 25, 2005 Author Share Posted December 25, 2005 Thanks. The second farm I ever leased was in Lynch and that was over 20 years ago. How's the season going for you? First segment was slow @ all our farms. But the second segment has been great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudhen Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 I also buy mag springs from Wolffe Springs - a new one every 2-3 seasons. I buff the mag tube at the same time - Brownells sells a mag tube brush. www.gunsprings.com mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Hall Goose'n Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Thanks for the spring suggestion. I have not replaced the magazine spring, but do clean the tube and polish the spring to eliminate friction. Repositioning the release lever spring seems to have solved the problem. Recoil had apparently moved it about an inch forward. Far enough to effect the amount of leverage exerted on the release lever. No missfeeds have occured since I put the spring back where it belongs.
