fastfred69 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 just got hold off a Beretta s56e single trigger ejector, 26" barrels, had a few shots with and shoots fine, however when you open the barrels you have to push it open the last little bit to get the bottom cart in or it fouls on the breech, seems like it pushing against a spring, and occasionally the bottom ejector doesn't work when opened slowly the top is fine.is this normal for this old gun? don't want to splash out loads to fix it as i didn't give a lot for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 It's normal for every Beretta of that family right up to the 692 to need that last little shove. It feels springy because you're pushing against the mainsprings. As for the ejector it may benefit from being taken out and cleaned/lubed or it might need a tweak from the gunsmith.

fastfred69 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Thanks for that Westward, i was starting to think id bought a lemon. I took the ejectors out and give them a clean seems if you open the gun as normal they work fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Tightening the forend iron will help in the opening problem .May help the ejection problem as well as may a set of new ejector springs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastfred69 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Tightening the forend iron will help in the opening problem .May help the ejection problem as well as may a set of new ejector springs . silly question but when you mean tighten it , is tht by the two screws which hold to the fore end wood?

Westward Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Tightening the forend doesn't involve those screws. It's a minor job but needs knowhow and skill. You can tell if it's needed when you have to physically hold the gun fully open to prevent it closing itself slghtly when you load/unload.

fastfred69 Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 yes that's what its doing closes slightly and feels as if its under a little spring pressure and you have to hold it open to get the bottom cartridge in, ive fettle loads or airguns but never a shotgun so wouldn't know where to begin, is it expensive to sort?

Paul taylor Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I have one of these. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastfred69 Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Paul does yours have same issue with opening, how old is yours if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu nesling Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 or, just get used to it. my 682 from the eighties has always been like that! i just got used to it. as suggested probably an easy fix if you want to. shoot top barrel 1st it will be faster reloading that way if you only take 1 shot to kill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastfred69 Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Yeah a few people have said that there's is the same ive justjust watched a YouTube video with a you lad who's shooting tin cans and can see when he loads it does the same.just have to get used to it,supposed it's to be expected after all its 42 years young!

Paul taylor Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Mines 1976 mate and is exactly same on opening but to be honest it feels like a new gun. Reckon they made them right back then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
