SBE Inertia Spring

[Marlo]

Is the nut inside the stock reverse threaded??? I want to take the spring apart to dry/oil but holy cow, I can NOT get that nut off.

Many posts here on the subject.

The nut is set with loctite and has to be heated while sufficient force is applied.

Even if you dont have the time or materials to remove the nut, you can just use a hair dryer to dry it out and then squirt some oil in the hole in the tube. Just a note: you're working on the recoil spring, the inertia spring is inside the bolt.

I was wondering why the the recoil spring nut is glued down. Everything else is very easy to take apart and clean. Why not use a set screw on the nut, or the like, unstead of glue. I was told that the amount of heat needed, to free the nut, will take temper out of recoil spring. I try to flush mine out with kerosine and then oil it. I get alot of build up in that tube. I shoot a SBE I.

I never used locktite after taking the original nut off in 1991, but the original nut was not hex head it was flush fit. The replacement nut was hex head.

 

They changed the design on the SBE II, it now uses a threaded retaining band.

Mudhen, I assume you did this yourself. If so did you heat it with a small propane torch and was the recoil spring alright when you were done? My gun is only 2 years old so nut I think is hex but it is like a half nut, not much to get ahold of. Do you have any problem with the new nut loosening up?

[mudhen]

rdn, that is exactly how I did it.

 

No problem with the spring afterwards, but I replace all Benelli springs with Woffe springs after 2-3 seasons anyway.

 

No problem at all with nut loosening up.

mudhen, I went to Wolff gun spring internet site but I could not find springs for SBE just super 90 series. What am I missing. Also I was wondering did you believe that benelli springs were weakening on you after a couple years of heavy use?

Brownells has them.

I talked to Wolff, the Super 90 fits the SBE I.

I need to change the drop shim and stock locking plate in my new SBE. In the owners manual it shows how to do it and it mentions removing the stock retaining nut as part of the process. Is this the nut you are talking about? In the instructions telling how to change the shim it says " the replacement procedure is very easy" and makes no mention of having to heat anything. This is going to piss me off if I have to be heating things and screwing around just to adjust the stock drop so I can shoot it.

 

Please, someone confirm if the stock retaining nut is the one that has the locktite on it-------I hope not!

Different nut for the stock, I believe the one you need to take off is 10mm. The recoil spring nut is 17mm and must be heated.

New to forum so I appologize for any eticate violations..... that being said, does anyone know if the Wolff Spring will fit the SBE 2? Mine is having a little trouble with 3in winchester steel and it's only 2 weeks old. Thanks for the help.

mudhen, why do you replace the springs on SBEs? Two of my hunting buddies have had have SBEs for several years and have never had any spring problems. Have I missed something?
