Slope Rat Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I've owned this weapon for about six months. I took it to Gunsite for the 260 shotgun class. After about 700 rnds of remington le ammo, one of the gas pistons broke in half and both "o" rings were somewhat battered. After returning home I spoke with customer service and was asked to send the shotgun back. I explained that the piston is a "strippable" part, I send the broken one, you send me a new one with two 'O' rings. I sent it priority mail, return postage paid. This happened eight days ago. I called today and was told that the piston was being "repaired" and might be sent back tomorrow. I truly hope that this is not indicative of the normal care that I will receive with Benelli. It does after all seem to be a fine weapon (with a few reliability issues). But the bottom line is "would I bet my life on it"? I think the answer to that is no.

Slope Rat Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Oops I posted before I reviewed. The shotgun is a Super 90 M4, not SBE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakjakman Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Does your M4 have 4 gas ports or 2? If it has 4, you'll probably keep having issues with your gun. There's another thread close by detailing a guy who returned his barrel for a 2 port model instead of 4. You may want to look into that.

Slope Rat Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 This is starting to become interesting. I have a four port gas plug assembly, with a non ported barrel. Perhaps that's why the piston got munched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakjakman Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Uh, I don't think anyone has a ported barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slope Rat Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 Thanks for the clarification, upon getting a better borelight, I found I have a four port system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggan Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Thanks for the clarification, upon getting a better borelight, I found I have a four port system. Quoted for my own reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
