I added one to my browning gold hunter this season, and YES, it makes a huge difference. After a few seasons of wear and tear, mixed with limbs, rain, mud, ice, etc. That recoil spring and follower are going to give you a nice reliable single shot, where you will find yourself with a auto/pump gun. Meaning you will have to reach up after every shot and manually throw the shell out.

I had to play with the springs for a few weeks to figure out which one worked better with the loads i was shooting, Rem. 1/8 oz. #2 3 inch loads for my timber down here in MS/TN. Come to find out, the lighter load spring worked great for these and only had a few issues when the gun was extremely dirty. The stainless stell spring and follower worked wonders on this gun, and pretty much brought it back to life for a waterfowl gun. I have noticed that the gas chamber is starting to wear out, and needs to be replaced, but it only fails on my skeet shooting.

Hope that helps you out man, and if you are running a gas powered gun I would recommend you getting a ss, for the fact that you won't find yourself with rusted springs and what not later on. Replace it in the beginning and you won't be dissapointed.

so after the last few seasons of my uncle cussing the gold out, he decided to buy a browning citori o/u and is happier than hell with it. though he sometimes means to switch the saftey off and switches barrels by accident.. and doesnt even get a shot off - ha

After a couple years of constant cleaning and some cold weather frustration I finally gave in with my SBE. I got her the full Sure Cycle system. Oh wow what a difference it has made. When i first got her she would cycle anything, but like a neglected house wife she began to show signs of discontent. It was my fault, i hunted her hard and didnt clean her much. Now with the sure cycle system i have gotten her back. I totally agree with Ryan they are worth the investment

I can not see how some of you have so many issues with loading a gun. There is no reason to add a "Sure Cycle" Springs are cheap and they wear. I have a Beretta 390 with well over 115K rounds through it I have only replaced the main springs a few times and the gas block springs. The gas block springs are set up on a Beretta since you don't want your shell ejecting more than 5 feet.

Strip your gun, clean it, get yourself a can of Break Free CLP spray it on and leave the gun wet.

+1. IMO, I believe a gun is made to shoot unlimited, as long as it's cleaned well and lubricated. People ignore the little things that need to be cleaned and over oil things or use the wrong oil (rem oil and wd-40) and believe it's the gun. The well known benelli click is because people fail to clean the portion of the barrel where the action locks in.

I found out the hard way one day. Twice in one day, it 'clicked' when we had honkers at spitting range. I killed my 2 birds on the first and only shot out of two different flocks. Educated a few flocks instead of only 1 flock.
