Hello everyone,
I purchased an M1014 brand new at the beginning of the month. After taking the firearm apart to clean it, I noticed areas on the Bolt Assembly Tail that appear to be either bronze/rust colored residue or a bad weld. I also noticed that there appears to be a crack down the tail aswell on the same area. I know crack is definitely a bad word because I'm not sure if thats really what it is or not. It just looks like it.
What I want to know is if this is normal or not? Did anyone else have this?
I would like to note that I contacted Benelli twice. I got the same gentleman both times who told me it was normal even after looking at the pictures. I'm not saying I don't trust him, I just want more opinions on it because of the amount of money I spent. Anyone's knowledge or advice on this is greatly appreciated.
I can't figure out how to upload the pictures on here so I'll go with the flow for now. I know it would help a lot more to have them. I'll try to figure it out after posting this.
Thanks everyone!
