marspball Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I have owned a Benelli Super Sport for about 2 years now and notice that the satin finish on the rails where the bolt slides back and forth is starting to peel off. I am just wondering if this is normal wear and tear and a flaw in production. Other Super Sport owners, can you check if yours is doing the same?

tucker301 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Have you ever shot the gun? Yes? - It's normal No? - Why do you have it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marspball Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Yes, i have shot about 5000 rounds through it. it doesn't bother the performance of the gun but i'm just wondering if the finish is supposed to peel off like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Fab Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 The receiver is aluminum and I'm not sure of the coating process but I would think it to be normal for that to happen at some point, especially on the rails. I have a SS that has about the same round count but no finish coming off. What do you use to clean/lube with? Sometimes different products can have an adverse effect different finishes.

cootcommander Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) Mine has not as of yet, but I only have about 2000 rounds thru it. I would say it is pretty normal. Anytime you have parts sliding(fricition) across one another overtime something has to give. Just as long as it doesn't come off the outside.

marspball Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 i use G-96 spray to clean and lubricate. Have also used gun butter (pink one) and slick 2000. Have also used hoppes no 9 in the past to clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hattles Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) You said you've owned the gun for about 2 years...did you buy it new ,and if so, you should have a warranty claim. If the finish is peeling rather than wearing off through use, I'd think it would be covered by the Benelli warranty. Contact Benelli customer service, they'll be the ones to talk to...and be specific. Good luck. Edited July 24, 2011 by hattles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BFamily Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Probably got 3000 rounds thru mine and it shows very minor wear. Yours looks like a flaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
