Title: Sbe2 hammer or trigger spring?
Post by: reynolds243 on March 19, 2016, 09:35:02 AM
Anyone put an aftermarket replacement spring on the trigger or hammer? Did it help any and which one did you use?  I see Wolff makes a reduced power and extra power hammer spring and Taran makes one as well for trigger and hammer

I have replaced recoil springs in my SBEs but no others, so I can't be of help.

Thanks,
Clark

reynolds243,

Let us know what you find out and how well it works. I have only replaced my recoil springs to Wolf Extra Power springs.

I saw videos of a guy updating his M2 using the Taran springs and it lowered his pull to 4lbs. However he was a 3 gun guy so he was only using light loads. Not sure what the impact would be for heavy loads if any

What are you looking to accomplish?  Changing the spring will change the trigger pull wt.  My experience with my Benelli turkey gun is that it's the trigger creep that is the problem.  Only way to change that is with some machining.

Why wouldn't a $1600 shotgun just come with suitable springs from the factory ?????

Trying to reduce creep and pull weight. Pull weight mainly on the 20 gauge

Shipped my trigger assembly from SBE 11 to Rob Roberts. $100.00 he worked on it. Smooth and crisp.

I know rob can do it he did a lot of work on my gun already but it's till $120 after shipping. Springs are like $7 a piece.  If it can get better for $14 I'd rather start there but don't know the possible issues with heavy loads

Make it 130 cause you'll have to send it two..That place very rarely can do the job right the first time let alone the second.

Don't think mine way ever touched,got it back called and complained sent it back came back to me and it was better but not $100 worth..maybe $10

I like how the "all yea we can do anything and make it so much better" then when it's not better it's the typical well that's how them Benelli's are

Place is a JOKE

Just my experience

Wasn't satisfied with my SBE2 trigger job either, they did a great job on my SBE1. Need to send it back again.

To reduce the creep, you're gonna have to have a qualified gunsmith do some machining on the hammer assembly.  Changing the spring will change the pull wt.  You can do that yourself.

Mallards Only,

Do you know a qualified gunsmith who will work on them?

Thanks

I'm just having my local smith work on mine.  There are some places that claim to do trigger work but after researching some, found some bad reviews.  My local guy is good and reasonably priced.  I couldn't see spending $100+ to send it to someone with the possibility of a poor result.  Talked to my local smith and explained what I wanted done & we're taking a little off at a time until I'm happy with the creep.

Benelli triggers STINK!!!
Plain and Simple. I can say this with Absolute
Confidence. I own 2!!!
SBE2 worst i ever owned.
My M2 better, but not as good as a cheap Remmy

Talked to the gunsmith over at Taran Tactical and ended up ordering a new trigger spring and hammer spring. He said it will drastically reduce pull weight so for $14 I'll go with that first. Said it won't have any effect on shooting heavy or light ammo. Will update when I get them in and switch them out. Doing it in both my M2 20 and SBE2

Not all Benelli's, the Vinci has zero creep easiest pulling shotgun trigger I've found but the safety sounds like smacking two 2x4s together in the woods even if you use 2 fingers to disengage.

FYI I finally got around to changing the trigger spring in my M2 20g. It does in fact make a difference and is well well worth the $7. Took it down to around 5lbs and is way more manageable now.  Highly recommend the Taran trigger spring for the m2 or sbe2 (the spring works for both) and literally took me 5mins to change it
