Mag Extension question on SBEII

[shobes]

I installed a four shot extension on my SBEII, while it was a pain I got it done. That C clamp device made me nervous, I mean how hard do you dare clamp on a gun barrel ?? Anyway I tightened it pretty well and went out to a shoot and went thru 125-150 #6 lead shells.

 

When home to clean the weapon I notice the clamp fell off !! Do I have to worry and get another one or do you think it will be fine ? Short of using loctite or something I dont think it can be tightened enough without damaging the barrel or mag extension.

 

Any advice especially from Benelli would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Jim

I have one of the mag extentions on my M1, and believe it is the same extention. The screw is in the middle and screws into a tapered piece that fits between the two sides correct? I dont know what you are worried about, it wont crimp the barrel, or the extention. (if you look closely, there is a smaller side and a bigger diameter side, make sure the bigger diameter side is the one holding the barrel) Tighten it down, dont go crazy with an air tool or anything, though. Normally i use a penny, and tighten it down until i cant turn it, the penny makes it so I can only use a certan amount of leverage.

oh yeah, buy another c clamp device, if not there is a possibility that it could get snagged on something and bent, broken, or break the threads on the mag tube (then you will really be in trouble)

Thanks for the idea!

I'm going to sell those "special limited torque wrenches" on ebay for $1.00 each!

If you are still worried about it coming loose, use a nut with the nylon insert and all will be ok.--GB

So does the same 4 shot extension that fits the SBE & M1 fit the SBE II as well?

dont know why it wouldnt, the sbe2 just has a different stock, grip and trigger guard i thought

[shobes]

yes it does fit.
