Drundel Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Its called stove piping and a lot of people have that problem. What type of shell are you shooting and what type of oil are you using? how old is your gun and how much have you shot it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fezman Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 try hoseing some break free clp into it and working the acton a bunch sounds gummed up to me. i would also try some heavyer loads. most of my feeding problems are amost always the direct result of bad or cheep loads. i would avoid WD40 its about 85% bunker oil and when the solvent evaporates it turns to gum and clogs up everyting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drundel Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 get rid of the rem oil and WD40. try miltec-1 or fp10. a buddy has contant problems with kent 1-1/8 loads, he since switched to 1.25 oz and haven't had a single jam up. corrision x is great for outside, but man its too thick for the inside. i put some grease ONLY on the rails and then use a light coat of oil on the rest of the action. also check yoru recoil tube spring, it could be rust up and dirty. hope this helps.

SBE Killer Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 i also get jams whenever i shot cheap loads out of my sbe, i found that if you just fill it with inhibitor which is just something to prevent rust it works pretty good as a lubricant also.

bluedavis Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I had a similar problem and found that oiling the ejector plate&spring was the key. I've heard plenty of horror stories about Rem oil and always use a good synthetic that is intended for automatics. I've had no jams this year, using big or small loads. And I tend to mix brands in my pocket and not care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallhanger54 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Are you absolutely sure you still have an ejector? They do break, and if so it wont eject the shell causing a jam or stovepipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
223rem Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 I had the same problem with 1 and 1 1/8 oz loads in both my M1 and a Rem 11-87 that I owned. I tried the Sure Cycle device in the 11-87. It is just a stainless steel version of the factory part. I saw no improvement and no purpose for the Sure Cycle device to exist unless you just want a rust resistant part. I just started loading 1 1/4 oz. loads and have had no further problems. Oddly, I have never had any problem with 1 oz. slugs in either the Benelli or the Rem.

cdogg44 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 So what's the deal with Rem Oil? I'm curious, because I thought it was good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeshot Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 cdogg44, Tom Knapp of course recommends the Benelli oil that comes with the gun, but more importantly, he gives his reasons for avoiding certain oils in the thread super gets stuck .

brddog Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 I gave the gun a real good cleaning as was suggested,it wasn't bad I do keep it clean.Still have the problem.I have been using these shells since last season(I bought a case)and had no problems. Took the gun apart again and noticed the ejector is looking a little rounded on the one side not square like the other side.As wallhanger said maybe this is the trouble.THANKS FOR THE REPLYS GUYS now to find a part.Is it hard to change?

8 Shot M1 Super 90 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 The best oil I have used on my Benelli is an oil made by Beretta. It is called olio (italian for oil!) We sell it in my stepdads store. Good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Mike Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I run my SBE with a very light coat of oil. The only time my gun "stove piped" has been when the recoil assembly was dirty. I have found that by removing the recoil spring from the butt stock and cleaning it out resolves this issue. Also i would recommend that you store the gun barrel down since the assembly is in the stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
