Benelli SBEII Cycling Problem

[bsutravis]

Crud!!!! I took the SBEII out to the gun club today and discovered that I've got something out of whack! I took it apart and cleaned the tar out of it after goose season and apparently I've got something wrong. Something is screwy with the shell carrier.... after I fire the shell in the chamber I'm not getting the magazined shell to cycle into the chamber. I don't even think the bolt is opening because I have to manually pull the bolt back to eject the spent shell, then hit the chrome button to release a new shell from the mag.

Anyone have any thoughts??? Does anyone know where I can get a good exploded view of the SBEII trigger assembly / action? I can't find anything detailed enough in the manual for what I need.......

There is the possibility that the magazine spring is weak.

Nah, not that..... when you hit the button to release the shell in the magazine it SLAM it into the chamber with a ton of force. Definately not a weak spring.

I've got some net-surfing time while here at work so I'm gonna find a blow-up of that trigger assembly. I'm certain that is my problem area.

It also could be operator trouble. You should probably give it to John or Kyle for a 10 year inspection period.

Yep, sounds like a linkage problem to me too.
