Yes...That is the part that is chipping off. I cleaned out the Spring and the butt of the gun. I notice a little more wear in that area every time I use the gun.

Look in your gun where the link buts up against the back of the gun. You should see a silver little button or cap where the link rests.

One last question for you...Have you had any part of the the silver cap at the back of the chamber that the inertia buts up to chip or flake off?

I wrote it wrong. I have other gas powered autoloaders. I meant Inertia. I have broken it down completely and cleaned it. What I meant by "tube" is where my plug is. I don't feel confident that I am getting all of it clean. I spend a lot of time in the water and this weekend I got home from a morning hunt and already had surface rust appearing from that mornings hunt. I just don't want to miss anything and worry I am missing an area.

I beat the heck out of my SBE II during waterfowl season. I clean it regularly because it gets surface rust pretty quickly. I love the gun but its durability to the elements is not very impressive. I am worried about the areas that you usually don't clean like the tube and the gas system. Any one ever get into that area to clean and if so,, How did you do it?
