Smith Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 A hunting partner of mine used to use a SBE. I remember it having a speed loading feature, in which when the last round fired and the bolt stayed back, you could push a new shell into the mag and it would automatically load into the chamber. Sort of like the old A-5 Brownings do. The SBE I got last week (used) does not do this. Is my memory just bad or is something wrong with this used shotgun?

mudhen Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I have not heard of a factory condition Benelli with speed load. mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smith Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 Thanks for the reply. I may try to get in touch with my old friend that had the gun I'm thinking about. Knowing him, it may well have been a modification. I was just concerned that this new-used gun might not have been 100%. Apparently it is, because it shoots great. Somebody must have beeen hurting to get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK JACK Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I know the newer Benellis do not do that. I am not 100% sure about the older ones when H&K used to import them. Just curious wouldn't it be just as easy to just drop a shell into the open chamber and hit the bolt return button? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was thinking. My SBE is an h&k import and it does not do what you are talking about. But it's pretty fast just to throw a shell in the open bolt and hit the release, are you sure your friend wasn't just doing that very quickly?

turkey Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 The Browning Golds have the feature you are referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylon Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 You're all crazy! With any SBEII, when the last shot is fired the bolt is locked open, so you can enter another shell into the breech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, it wouldn't be the first time someone didn't know what they were asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
