quacked-up Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Getting hang ups on my new SBE II. Third round out of the gun didn't load, and it did this several times as well as a couple of half ejections on live shells. Is it me?? Help me out ya'll. I love this gun and there's only a short time left to hunt. Thanks, Q-U in Louisiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDog Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I own a Stoeger 2000 and don't know if this applies to your new SBE II or not. Take your gun apart and clean it. Shoot 3 or 4 boxes of ammo of heavy loads through it (at least 1 1/8 oz). If it still has problems, try different ammo. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleric Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 If you haven't broken it in, you absolutely need to do that. Like Nate suggested, put a couple of boxes of heavy loads through it and then give it a good cleaning. Remember to keep it sucked up tight to your shoulder. Recoil actions need something to recoil against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quacked-up Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 Thanks ya'll. It was the first hunt and we had a handfull of woodies coming in to the beaver swamp in south Alabama when the problems happened. MAN !!!! talk about 10 minutes of shooting and cussing !! I will swap out the 1400 fps 2 3/4 for the 3" and run a few boxes through. I also cleaned it up good and lubricated the slide. I have an offer to hunt a couple of crawfish ponds south of here, so maybe I'll get to break it in. Thanks again Q-U in Louisiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoDucker Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Check out the "Benelli" forum instead of the "Waterfowling" forum for more help. Do a search or two there on cycling issues and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
