roster Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 My SBE has started jamming, it ejects the hull but it somehow ends up with the empty hull (2 3/4") flipped around with the primer end farward at the entrance to the chamber and the open end holding the bold open. Anyone else had this happen if so, how did you cure it? Quote
rdn Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 I have had my SBE1 only 5 months or so, but have put 4 cases plus of rounds thru it mostly skeet loads. The only I time I have had trouble with ejection/cycling I believe it was due to feeding too light of loads thru it. The 1 1/8 oz 1200fps loads don't cause me any trouble. I am not saying that this is your problem but it is the first thing that came to my mind. Quote
roster Posted July 22, 2004 Author Posted July 22, 2004 Thanks rdn, but it jambs with 2 3/4-1 1/4 oz at 1450fps. Before it started acting up it would eject/cycle anything I put in it. It acts up sporadacilly, every time I think it has worked its self out, it jambs again. Quote
Drundel Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 If I'm reading you right its called stove piping. My buddy and I had that problem last year even shooting duck and goose loads. What we did that worked, was break it down, clean it real well, and use higher quality of oil. My buddy uses FP-10 and I tried Miltec-1. Both are much smoother than before and no more stovepipes. Get it a shot. Quote
roster Posted July 22, 2004 Author Posted July 22, 2004 Thanks Drundel, I thought stovepiping was about mis-cycling unfired shells from the mag to the chamber. My problem is with the fired hull, educate me. Quote
Drundel Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 what we call stove pipeing is when it partly ejects the shot hull and its hung up in the action so the hull is 90 degres to the action. Quote
roster Posted July 23, 2004 Author Posted July 23, 2004 Drundel, what you last described is what it does 70% of the time, the other 30% the hull ends up almost 180 degrees to the action. Thanks for the insight, I will have to give it a good cleaning and then try the oil you recomended. Quote
benddg Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 On one of my old SBE's the ejector broke twice. Your gun is doing the same thing mine would with the broke ejoector. Benelli said they had some bad heat treating on the ejector and had fixed the problem. You might check that. Quote
roster Posted August 11, 2004 Author Posted August 11, 2004 Drundel I gave a good breakdown cleaning, oiled it according to the Miltec recomendations. Shoot 6 rounds of skeet, no ejection problems. Thanks for the tip. Quote
