I watched several videos about cleaning the M2 and I do not recall any discussion of dry lubes. This is good to know and will start this. Thank you!

Thank you for the quick response! It looks clean as ever when I look thru it, just me overreacting I guest. thanks again

Hey guys. just took my new M2 out for about 3-4 pheasant hunts over the past 3 weeks. I’d say on average shot 4-12 shots per outing because the size of the groups i didn’t think I’d need to clean my barrel so soon and wondering if you guys think this is rust i let the hoppes sit for 10 minutes and then cleaned as usual and looked fine after the black residue came out with clean patches. But after I ran oil thru the patch came out kind of brown in streaks? After 3-4 passes it wasn’t bad at all, but curious what caused it to be brown?

Yeah I probably will let it go. Easy to get worked up over it being perfect when you drop that kind of money. But yes sooner or later it will have a bunch of scratches on it from hunting. Thanks guy

Hey guys. I’ve had my m2 with optifade timber camo for 3 days. Put 6 rounds thru it just to feel it out, then went to put the full choke in to see how some turkey rounds would pattern its then I noticed two small chips near the end of the barrel. Wanted input on what to do. Am I overreacting due to how small they are, or is this something I should contact benelli about? I will post the chips below and also a pic of my Nova that is much older but with bad wear near the barrel I guess I’m paranoid about my m2 ending up like this as well
