Benelli SBE 3 Problems

[jbanke27]

I was out duck hunting this last weekend and started to have an issue. Had already shot atleast 10 shots that morning but all of a sudden I shoot 1 shot and the carrier got stuck in the up position not allowing the next shot to cycle. I proceeded to manually unload the shells from the magazine and was able to pull the carrier down with a screwdriver. I hit the cartridge drop lever, heard the “click”, and tried to pull the bolt back but was completely stopped halfway. I hadn’t disassembled the gun for a few weeks prior to this so I know it wasn’t an assembly issue and it was purchased brand new last year. I disassembled the gun later that day but the only noticeable thing was that the bolt stop tooth was loose. I couldnt figure out if that was common so I cleaned and lubed everything to see if that would help but it didnt. If anyone has experienced something similar or can recommend a course of action, any feedback would be much appreciated.

A good photo would be helpful as well as the proper part names.  This can be located on a Schematic at Midwest Gun Works.

@jbanke27 did you find anything out? I am having the same problem. Started out of no where and has been my only issue with the gun.

I have a carrier latch ordered when I get it installed I'll let you know if that works

Sent my gun back to beneli on Friday 2/9. Will let you guys know what they say.

Beneli ended up replacing my recoil tube assembly and mag tube. I believe mag tube may have not been necessary but I’m not complaining. Trying it out this afternoon but they tested it for operation.
