MetropolisLake Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Since there doesn't seem to be too awful many built SBE II's out there I figured I'd show mine off. Built by master shotgun surgeon Steve Rose. 26" barrel, Nordic +9 tube, tube clamp with both a QD socket and rail for a light, welded lifter, low friction follower, opened up the loading port, trigger job, ghost loading / out of battery mods, green fiber sight, QD socket in the stock, Arredondo carrier release bar, Nordic bolt handle, lightened bolt carrier... probably other stuff that I can't remember.

Solidgun Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I would have converted my SBEII for 3-gun, but I was getting it modified too much. The ease of cleaning would have been great, but the large 3 1/2" opening doesn't really offer a whole lot when I was getting the loading port opened up anyway. The mid-bead would have been wasted by being pulled out after putting in XS rear sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetropolisLake Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 How does it run? Haven't had a chance to fully put it through its paces but can say it eats cheap bird shot just fine which is the concern of some people with SBE II's. Loads like a dream, could instantly load 2. I can shoot and load it much better than my old FN. Do have somewhat of a snag with the mag tube, I think the original spring is a little weak, getting some jams when the last round pops out of the tube. Going to play with that, may have to get a stiffer spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetropolisLake Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) The mid-bead would have been wasted by being pulled out after putting in XS rear sights. I just came from rifle sights on my FN, don't care to go back. I like the vent rib, with the mid bead if I really feel the need to align it better for slugs. The Hi-Viz fiber optic sight is a little large though, which is great for low light field use, but I hope it doesn't jack with the accuracy of slugs.
