Question on SBE II

[funebonz880]

I just recently purchased a SBE II. And from what I read on here and other forums I figured I could get four shells in the magazine (2 3/4"). I took the plug out that was in the magazine, so thats not the issue. I could get three shells in the magazine, and the fourth one would get to the brass (on a high brass) and then stop, like it was at the end.

 

After i removed the plug, I reinserted the spring, put the o ring seal (whatever its called) back in to hold the spring. And then the end cap on. So should i be able to get four shells in the magazine on a stock gun, or is it impossible.

From what i've read in my owners book ( i just got a new SBE II myself) it says that the capacity for the SBE II is four shells, 3 in the mag and one in the tube.. page 11 of the use-maintainence book.

the website claims 3 in mag plus 1

I know what the website and manual say, but I've heard people say on hear that you can fit four in the magazine. I want to know from one of those people if it was with an extension or not.

SBEII holds 3 2.75" shells in the magazine without the plug.
