Why say you'll never buy a Beretta and then say this? How in any way, shape or form was this the guns fault?

I didn't find out it was the shell until after the original post. He called me later in the afternoon after he had cut the shells open. But still this is the 3rd xtrema I know of this happening to. Coincidence maybe....I just hear about the low maintenance and reliability of the sbe's. I hunt a lot more than most and I'm hard on my equipment. I don't have the time to be cleaning a gun every couple hunts.

I'm gonna be honest and I love my Benellis. I have M1, SBE, SBE II, and Super Vinci. But you gotta keep em clean at least every few hunts or you may run into problems with hang ups and jams being they are inertia operated. I would say a Beretta is more low maintenance due to gas operation. But they are very reliable if you keep them clean.

After I hunt all I do is swab out the barrel and open the chamber and spray a little remington gun lube spray in side. I only break my vinci down at the end of teal season, between big duck split and at the end of the season. I never have jam problems.

I do about the same. But about every 2 weeks or so I will break it down and give it a good cleaning. That marsh is a lot rougher on em than rice fields. I can tell when it needs it. Starts cycling a little slower. Super Vinci hung up on me once Saturday morning. I haven't cleaned it in a while.
