44 Canon Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I just got a bunch of super black eagle parts. Basicley everything I need to complete a super black eagle exept the butt, barrel and lower receiver. I even have all the parts that go on the lower receiver. Anyone know where I can come up with a lower receiver and what they run for? [ 06-30-2005, 05:01 PM: Message edited by: 44 Canon ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudhen Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 The lower receiver is the FFL part, so you will need to have an FFL, or buy it through an FFL holder. Given they are the FFL part, I have not seen them anywhere on E-Bay. I do recall they run around $350-$400, but I cannot recall where I saw that price. The barrel will run around $300 used, $400 for new. The buttstock can be had for $50-$60 in synthetic, maybe a bit more for decent wood, $241 if you buy it from Brownells!! I have seen used SBE wood stocks on E-Bay. With used SBE's around for $400-$500, you maybe better off parting out an old one if your parts are in better shape. I just saw the first SBE II's for $999 on line - wow, that didn't take long!!! mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
44 Canon Posted July 1, 2005 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 Hmmm, I looked around and I can't find them for less then $775. Well, aulturnativley, I am a recreational plinker and would perfer to make something similar to an M-1 or M-2. Does anyone know if the small parts are compatable with any other Benelli receivers? e-gunparts.com has 121 barreled receivers for less then $200 and lowers for less then $70. My biggest concearn would be weather or not the trigger housing can handle it being a 3 1/2 chamber rifle. Also, does anyone know if it would be more ecanomic to just send the parts in to Benelli to build a rifle and transfer it to me, if they even will at all?

mudhen Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Hmmmm, look a little harder and maybe use a little of the gray matter? For example; An SBE sold for $800 on another website the other day with a 26" bbl & 28" bbl. The buyer can (as he stated he would) sell one of the barrels for $300 and get the SBE for $500 net. My buddy just sold a nice H&K SBE for $450 the other day. It needed an ejector cleaning, but it was in 95% condition. I told him to keep it, but he refused. I refused it at $400, I have 3 already. I recently sold a like new SBE with mercury recoil reducer, slug barrel, mag extension kit, Sure Cycle mag kit, and Kicks turkey choke for $1000 even. Sell the slug barrel for $375 easy, recoil reducer for $30 easy, the mag extension kit for $50 easy, mag kit for $20 easy, and the Kicks tube for $35 easy, and a two year old SBE went for $490 net. You just gotta do the work yourself...... You can't just click gunsamerica or gunbroker and expect miracles.... mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
44 Canon Posted July 1, 2005 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 So, what can I convert these parts to then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudhen Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Not much I think. Benelli parts are just so odd. It's always been an issue for Benelli owners. I don't know if 121 parts are compatible, I doubt it, but I don't know. With barrels being sooooo expensive most are stuck with the barrel the gun came with, new stocks are pricey so we can't just buy new ones for $69 like you can for a Remington 870, etc. Maybe sell the parts on E-Bay? I bet you could get a few bucks for a bolt assembly if it floats the 4th shell. You may want to contact Benelli to see if there is anything they can do. Maybe start with a Benelli dealer to see if you can order a new receiver? mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
44 Canon Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 Any recomindations for a place to look for used barrels? I perfer to make it a shorter barrel multi-purpose utility shotgun and perfer a good old basic tacticle barrel over the big fancy ribbed ones. The gun will probably look like a beefed up M-2 by the time I am done, so that may give you an idea where I am headed with this. Since I am looking for a barrel that SBE owners I would presume don't usually desire, I would imagion that I could probably get a good deal on one from someone who just has one lying around as trade stock, while I also have a bunch of other gun parts I could probably trade.

tucker301 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 This auction should give you some idea of how difficult they are to find and of how expensive they are. [ 07-02-2005, 10:35 AM: Message edited by: tucker301 ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudhen Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Where did the internet-famous '44 Canon' go? I miss him A very good H&K SBE sold for $550 shipping prepaid on another website. It sold quickly, but the $550 price can be found. mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 He popped up again the other day. I think he's probably busy doing top secret designs for U.N.C.L.E, or some other clandestine organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
