I have a Benelli super black eagle that has around 14,000 rounds fired through it ( I am a waterfowl guide).
The gun started misfiring ( only shooting once) about 2 weeks ago. I broke the gun down and found a broken firing pin spring ( which I have ordered). The firing pin spring only had about 6 coils of the spring off of one end, so i simply stretched the existing one to make do.
Everyone in my blind shoots a Benelli and after further comparison of my gun to theirs I found that my extractor pin had cut a groove in my barrell where the extractor pin rotates with the bolt.
I also noticed when I tried to slide the bolt back with my hand to eject a shell a "hang up" spot in this same area. I used a Dremel tool to file around this area and shot my gun and it fired 3 times....great. The next volley it misifred again ( only firing once). I looked at the bolt and it had not fully rotated ( which renders the gun useless).
Me and a friend inspected it again, and we slid the bolt all the way back and let it slam forward. He commented on how "slowly" the bolt slammed forward.
Any suggestions...i need to get this fixed.
