Fresh1179 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Hello All, I have been hunting all morning and have been experiencing tons of problems with my SBE II. Here's the situation. My SBE is my favorite gun, and I treat it as such. The gun is immaculate and has been kept that way since I purchased it. The gun was clean when I went out to the duck blind this morning. I was shooting Hevi-Shot so I highly doubt it was not cycling because of the ammo type. The primary problem I was having was failure to feed. The gun would fire the initial shot, then the bolt would get "jammed up" in the rear position. It was raining steadily. Any suggestions. Thanks as always. Quote
Bowhunter82 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Not sure how long you've had the gun, but I would look at replacing the recoil spring. Mine would lock back and fail to load the next shell (even with 3.5"), and my recoil spring ended up being the culprit. It would be an easy fix, that's for sure. Quote
Bello Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 on this one i would most likely replace the mag tube spring not the recoil spring! Quote
Bowhunter82 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Bello..... you could be right, I didn't even think of that. I would still look at that recoil spring though. My gun did the exact same thing, locking back after the first shot, and the new recoil spring fixed it. Whether it's the mag, or recoil spring, it's still an quick/easy fix. Quote
fikester Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Benelli will make it right regardless....mines never been affected by the rain with any loads. Quote
