SBE II Problem?
« on: December 20, 2009, 12:18:40 PM »
having some problems with my SBEII. bought it a couple years ago, and has been working fine, only had problems cycling brother of heavy steel. on my last outing, it misfired almost every "second"  shot. I was using Kent fast steel. hammer would drop, but no discharge, there was a dimple on every unfired round.
only theory i got going right now is that the bolt face may not cycle completely around, adding maybe a mm gap, allowing the hammer and pin to function/fire, yet not enough contact.   any ideas?
 i googled it a little, and observed one comment that the gun is the best single shot auto on the planet. Lol.
i forgot to add, i also shot federal high density rounds, and they cycled perfectly, so more to add to the mystery, hopefully a bad lot of Kent is to blame, as it has fuctioned fine for two years, and yes i clean it. Lol.

I have never had you problem.  If I had to guess, I would agree that the bolt face is not completely rotating.  If you are hunting the East side you might have a little sand in between the boltface and the bushing.

Never had a problem with mine. I know H20FOWLER has had some with his though. I am sure he will chime in here shortly.

Lot of SBEII trouble this season. Glad mine is doing good. It is doing a great job of holding up the walls in my gun safe. When, not if, but when you are tired of hearing that *click* sound go out and buy a SX3 you will not be disappointed.

I won't buy Kent anymore for the same reason. I had a mossberg 500 that would fire everything I put through it and then I tried Kent. The ones that would cycle sometimes fired. They must be out of spec.
Never, ever let Creed hold you baby, it will ruin it and you will have to get another.

I like Kent but I am thinking Estate is the way to go.
