Benelli Super Black Eagle ejecting problem

[mobuckhunter]

Ok i have a Super Black Eagle 1 31/2 and i'm having trouble with it ejecting certain types of shells like the winchester's drylok's

[brian]

What are the stats on the Win Drylock? What is the powder charge? What is the ounce of shot? What size of shell are you using? How clean is the inside of the receiver? Please explain in detail what it is doing when it is having problems with ejecting.

it is hanging up while ejecting any winchester 3" shells but ejects federal's fine strange i can just buy federal's no big deal but it's a benelli i should be able to eject anything. it's spotless inside clean with q tips after every hunt also when shoot 31/2's i's like it doesn't have the power to kick them all the way out i was thinking that maybe that main spring was wore out and not putting enough pressure to it is that possible? when it does it it's like the chamber is closing before the shell can get out then jams it in. not sure of the exact stats just 3" 4 shot dryok's hope that explains it kinda weird issue

Have you broke the gun all the way down? How clean is the main spring? It could be the main spring but want to look at other things first. It take very little oil to lube the parts in the receiver. By that I mean, just a light glaze on your fingr tips is enough. If you get to much oil on these parts it will slow the action dow and it will fail to fully eject the shell. It the powder charge on the shell is to low the bolt will also fail to come all the way back allowing the spent shell to be fully extracted. Basically it will short stroke it. Can you send me pics of the gun broken down and give me pics of the bolt and slide assembly and try to get pics (the best you can) of pics inside the receiver. The pics of the bolt need to be of the bottom of it. You are having problems with Win. Dryloks 3 inch? Correct.

my home number is 405-387-5027 if you can call me we can discuss this in person. I will get to work to resolve this issue. Most likey its something simple.

There should be a section in your owners manual about what powder charge to stay with. It seems like this is not a problem with the gun or its parts. I seem to be leaning toward the shell you are using. Since this gun works off of kinetic energy it would seem logical for the shell that is being used to have enough force to force the bolt all the way back. I think that since it is cycling other brands okay and not the Winchester Drylock it may be that the Winchester does not have enough force (Powder) to get the gun to fully cycle the spent casing. I am not going to except this theory until I can eliminate all other senerios that I am looking into. I agree with you, that this gun is to expensivefor it not to cycle all shells. This does seem to be a frequent problem with the Benellis and ther are kits to remedy this. But, I would rather look at cheaper methods to resolve this problem. Again can you please post some pics of the areas that I had mentioned in the above post. I am going to look at the manufacturers websites to get the data that I need and will get back to you as soon as I can. But, the pics and a detailed discriptions of the events will help me greatly, i.e. is the spent shell stove piping.

[brian]

What other brands of shells and their discriptions are you using? that you are not having this issue?

[brian]

Thiis might sound a little crazy but bare with me. When you are shooting this load (Win.), at what angle are you holding the gun? I am assuming that since you ar hunting geese it would be at a grater than 45 degree angle. Is the butt of the gun firmly seated into your sholder when you fire the gun?

[brian]

The inertia operated guns do need a somewhat solid surface in order for the recoil spring to operate correctly. If I try an over the head shot (just to muck around), the gun will fire but won't eject the spent shell.
Same thing if I fire it from the hip.
