hanging the 4th shell
 

Anyone ever do this with anything other than a benelli shotgun?

Xtrema 2 can do it

i can do it with my xtrema

No, I think you can do this only on the older SBE models. I have the new SBE2 (got it in 2004)and you cannot do that with them. Also, by brother in law has the SBE1 and he cannot do it with his. He got it a few years before Benelli started to make the SBE2. However, I think Benelli realized that and did the modification. I know of 4 people than have the SBE1 that can put four in...one in the pipe, 2 in the chamber, and the 4th sitting on top of the cradle.....

You can shoot 4 without removing the plug?????

i wish mine would hold 4 shells! lol...


NO mr. game warden, i have my plug in...i think your just hearing extra shots...because i can only shoot 3 shells!

yes just like you said it

i dont think you can D. ASR said no.

my buddy has an older one that does it,then modified his later model to do it also, fixin to modify mine too.

I cant get 31/2 but 23/4 and 3" yes

we do it with 31/2s to0

My old benilawould but cant make my etrema. Have to open the breech to far.

is there 2 clicks when you slowly pull the breech all the way down?

ummm dont know. I havent done it in awhile:eek:

I said NO on the SBE 2 since I have one and I tried it.....if you know someone who has the SBE2 that can please let me know how they do it. Also, on the newer models of the SBE you cannot....well let me put it this way.....I know someone who has the SBE in which they got it in 2000 and they cannot put 4 shells.....

Any gunsmith can fix it for you. All it takes is a little filing.

Mine wouldnt do it either,but I played with it all saints game long Sat. night,and Im pretty sure I figured it out. Just need to get a lil epoxy or jb weld, and I will make my final determination.

Ummm I'm telling!!:p ;)

I know my extrema 1 will do it but had some buddies tell me their extrema 2 wouldnt. Im gonna have to try it out and see if I can get thiers to do it.

shoot you know how i used to do it! :D

Why would you need 4 shells in a shotgun? Are you that bad of a shooter?

nah...in my case thats 1 more duck to get knocked down..

Big flock, more shots, more dead.

Aint the limit 6?

What's that have to do with getting an extra shot at a bird??

my Xtrema 2 does it.

Can you do 31/2 or just 3" and 23/4". Mine will not do 3 1/2

how are ya'll doing this ? on any gun im lost heard of it but never seen it done, where is the 4th shell sitting at?

Rules clearly state that you can only have 3 shells in your gun for migratory birds. Why would ya'll want to risk a fine for one more shot?

I just don't think the ticket or fine is worth it. And posting about breaking the law on an open forum is not smart at all. Just saying.

I've been checked my game wardens before and they took my gun and shells and loaded the gun for themselves to see how many shells it would hold. I doubt they would care how, or why, a shotgun held more than 3 for migratory birds, but I bet if it did you would get a ticket even if your shotgun had the factory plug installed.

It is not against the law for your gun to hold more than 3. It's against the law to hunt with more than 3. Catching violators is hard to do. But if they suspect you or if someone reports you they will watch you.

Easiest way to catch violators is when they brag or talk about what laws they are breaking.

When I have been checked, they remove all shells and stick a green rubber water
hose with a piece of elect. tape on it. If the tape goes into the gun, your busted.
They also dragged the bottom of the blind and the pond, with their hands to check
for empty lead hulls. Then the grabbed a hand full of shells from each box in the
blind to check and see if we were hiding lead shells in the bottom of the box.
They move everything in and around the blind, then the boat to see if you are hiding
anything anywhere. They even move your brush around to check for ducks or for
empty shells that held lead shot.
They know what to look for and how to look for it.

It is called the "Benilli Push" and I resort to it quite often to shoot cripples. First time I was checked in the pipeline canal my gun was new and the warden had to ask me to take all of the shells out of the mag he had loaded.:shaking: I almost told him he should not play with guns he knew nothing about but my calmer side won out.:eek:

The times I've gotten checked they just tried putting 3 shells in it to make sure that's all it could hold.
