Super Black Eagle

[doghunter]

I just bought a used Super Black Eagle in 12 gauge. The gun looks brand new but will not cycle low brass field loads. It either pulls the hull back without extracting the empty or returns to closed breech without loading another shell. Is it the cheap shells or should I clean the gun? It appears to be fairly clean already. i thought these guns would shoot anything from 2 and 3/4 all the way to 3 and 1/2. Thank for any info!

Clean it. You should find a very detailed post by Tucker on how to take down and properly clean the gun.

Thanks Lefty!

I know how to clean it, just did not appear that dirty. Maybe it's due to all the cold weather..could be a little gummy. I'll research the post.

You thought wrong.

"Minimum Recommended Load: Use 3-dram, 1-1/8-oz. loads in all Benelli 12-ga. semi-auto shotguns"

It might not be broke in yet. Shoot a bunch of heavy loads through it, but first clean and lube your recoil spring tube good. Thats where they get gummed up with old oil and dirt and ya can't see it. CLP BREAKFREE will make her cycle like a new one in the coldest of conditions.

Anyone have the link to the cleaning post?

Found the link? Now I need info on cleaning the recoil spring and tube.

Like Tucker said, they are made to shoot heavier loads, but if it isn't pretty clean that can affect its operation as well.
