yep.. normal wear. Pick up a blueing touch-up pen and hit the wear areas (that are hidden, obviously) and you should be good to go. My brother has the same situation on his and this is what he's done to add a lil' bit of protection.. so far so good. [ 03-30-2005, 08:01 AM: Message edited by: birddog ]

Pick up a few boxes of Hevi-Shot loads from Environmetal (the makers of hevi-shot). Look at the Waterfowl loads as well as the turkey loads in #6 offerings www.hevishot.com start out with the 2-3/4" hulls and go from there.. Good luck

thats funny lookin poison dog doo....

LMAO.. you need to switch to a 20gauge tucker if you bruise that easy .. don't worry.. I won't go any further tell pops to lean into the shot a little and give it a grip! or if its stiil tough on you like B.LABMAN said .. go to a gas gun.. that 391 is your sweetest bet there.

there ya go again tucker .. shooting through trees again.

rob .. you need to upload you photo onto a hosting site try here

Release all spring tension.. point blank.. no 'ifs', 'ands' or 'buts' about it.

Not sure what exactly is causing the cut but, you can remove the saftey from the trigger assembly - do the work and cover the raw surface with some bluing thats available from any shop around... put her back together and make'er happen. heck you could put it in your pocket and take to a smith and he could dab a little stuff on it for ya with out buying an entire container and wasting it.. never know .. your call.

answered your own question.. put the file to it if it's a sharp edge.. might be better served by a sharpening stone tho.. just round 'er off [ 03-13-2005, 01:11 PM: Message edited by: birddog ]

.. guns 12yrs old huh? .. how long have you owned it? .. and leaving the 'operating system' unchecked might be your problem there.. better try getting that thing apart and do the strip-clean.. then go from there.

bingo .. yer on the ball today tucker

he got'er done tho

93 weaver base ... its in his book he just didn't know what he was looking for..

Interesting .. keep us informed BLKLAB..

yea .. throw a pic up hear so we can see what you're refering to..

LOL... you bet M1014 !! Rip that thing down to every individual peice and strip-clean with a brush - everything! Then LIGHTLY oil and wipe-off or use compressed air to remove excess lube and re-assemble using a drop of oil on all 'contact points' of the bolt and reciever. generally keep at 3 dram, 1-1/8oz loads... shouldn't have any problems unless there is an internal part failure.

Hi again Rex .. again to get better instruction you might try the Brownells Techs they'll have the correct supplies you'll need to do it also so they'll have things/products to refer you to. Its been done plenty before so no biggie..

Rex ... have you called benelli customer service yet?.. ask to speak to a tech there. or try Brownells techs Are you still interested in the pic? I could get one up here for ya.. just post back. [ 03-13-2005, 07:39 AM: Message edited by: birddog ]

yea .. this is true! .. too many toys and so little time to use 'em

Go to the source www.hevishot.com

Ain't that the truth tucker! sad thing about it is - if I like shooting the thing I'm certain I won't be able to keep myself from buying one

I concur with tucker here .. make some calls. start out with Benelli customer service... they should have the information/dealers names that have them on the rack.
