Man I don’t think you should have contact there. If open it up, air hose it all, hit everything with brake clean and spray it with a light lube, then darken the area with some sharpie and see if you’re still rubbing.
I’d press Benelli, that’s not normal.
I would take your trigger group out, put the bolt in and see if it is something further back in the reciever. I am not 100% convinced it is the barrel.
