M2 Barrell Wear

[jfkoxford]

I have a 4 year old M2 that I have put several thousand rounds through with no problems. However, upon disassembling the gun to clean, I noticed some wear on the barrel where it meets the receiver. It looks like the thin plastic ring is wearing away. Is this normal? Is is able to be repaired and by whom (Benelli or a gun smith)?

 

Thanks

Could you maybe post some photos. I don't remember seeing a plastic ring like you describe on my M2's.

I will, just need to get to 5 posts before they allow me to provide pictures. Thanks

Psst...they don't need to be "real" posts...just post in this thread until you get enough.

 

I had my M2 apart today and didn't notice what you were talking about perzactly so I'd be interested in pictures as well.

OK, will do. Thanks

Here are some photos. I think that that the black ring is hard plastic, but perhaps it is metal. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks
