Blackhawk Bantry Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Howdy, I'm in the process of preparing my SKB 100 for CAS and what's next is to make sure that the gun switches barrels after the first shot while firing low recoil rounds. How do I do this? I've heard it can be achieved through a spring change, which spring do I have to change and how do I go about it?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrel Cody Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 The best way is to send it to Fast Eddie and turn into a mechanical reset. My inertia one resets every smokeless round I've tried and as long as I've got 48gr of BP it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Before you do anything fire the gun with the loads you intend to shoot. If it switches barrels then you do not need to do anything. If it does not switch reliably the spring you have to change is part 609006. Remove the e-clip, push out the shaft and the pendulum (609004) will come free. Make sure the spring and plunger (609007) do not get lost. Where to get a lighter spring in Sweden I do not know. I have boxes of springs and just change them until I find one that works with my loads. Be careful not to put to light of a spring into the pendulum. If you do and point the barrels above horizontal the pendulum can swing back from its own weight and the gun will not switch or fire correctly.

Abe E.S. Corpus SASS #87667 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I tested my SKB 100 with my smokeless 12 gauge load that is comparable to the AA low recoil factory ammo. If I was careful to hold the butt firmly against my shoulder it worked fine. If I was sloppy and did not set it firmly into my shoulder it would sometimes fail to reset.
