acmf74 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 How snug should I tighten the retaining bolt? Should it be firm or to a specific torque? Thanks. PS Is there a product that can correct the cast on a SBE1? Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Check your manual, but I believe the cast is changed the same way as the SBEII. Flip the locking plate (steel) and the drop shims. Click Here Manuals Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acmf74 Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Thanks Tucker. I asked about the cast because my manual doesnt mention anything about it. It only discuses about the drop. The link you provided might help out my issue. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGWILD Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Benelli C/S told me that non comfort tech stocks "SBE1" do not have this adjustment and thats probably a good reason your manual does not talk about it:) use German Torque on the nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Thanks Tucker. I asked about the cast because my manual doesnt mention anything about it. It only discuses about the drop. The link you provided might help out my issue. Thanks. Thought that may be the case, but I wasn't sure since I've never had a SBEI. I think the linked kit will put you on the right track. Mudhen may also be able to help you in more detail. He's had much more experience with the earlier SBE's. Glad to help. Just snug the nut up until the stock no longer moves against the receiver and you should be good to go. Overtightening will deflect the plate and undertightening will leave the stock too loose.

mudhen Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 No cast kit on the SBE I, just drop. I use the D shim on all my older SBE's. Gunsmith can work on the stock though. As to the nut, tighten until just before the plate bends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 mudhen, Is there any reason the kit I linked to would not work in the SBE1 and allow him to change the cast? http://www.e-gunparts.com/DisplayAd.asp?chrProductSKU=979480&chrSuperSKU=&MC= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudhen Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 mudhen, Is there any reason the kit I linked to would not work in the SBE1 and allow him to change the cast? http://www.e-gunparts.com/DisplayAd.asp?chrProductSKU=979480&chrSuperSKU=&MC= Yes, because the kit shown does not fit any SBE I that I have owned or worked on. I presume it's a typo. http://www.brownells.com/aspx/ns/schematics/schemmfg.aspx?schemid=570&m=1&mn=Benelli+U.S.A.%c2%ae&model=Super+Black+Eagle+ Look at part #27 & the shims that are used with it. The plate is a totally different shape as are the shims. I cannot see how they can interchange. My newest SBE is a 2002 version and it uses the older drop kit. Unless Benelli changed between 2002 and the CT stock, the E-Gunparts listing is incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
