libertygun Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Here's a picture of a scratch on the interior of my M4 receiver. I was learning how to use it today with Snap Caps. Could I have done this? Its very low inside the receiver, about a centimeter above the shell carrier on the interior. Is this a serious issue. If you know about the material that its is made of, what is your opinion? Thanks a lot. [ATTACH=CONFIG]1274[/ATTACH] Quote
twowheelhooligan Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Shoot it more and it'll fill with carbon, then 1) you'll never notice it that much 2) You're having more fun than staring at that scratch (what scratch?) 3) You'll be practicing vs asking questions on the internet! Nah, I know it'd bug me too, but you didn't hurt anything by looks of it! Enjoy the M4! 2-wheel Quote
daniel333 Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 ouchhhhhhhhh birchwood casey makes a good touch up paint that can fill in the scratch a little. just dont over-do it. only get the paint inside the scratch. Quote
KB Fab Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 It's toast dude. You're probably gonna have to send it back to Benelli for repair. Quote
SgtCathy Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 I hear taps playing in the background. Nothing left to do other than wrap that M4 up in an American flag and bury it 6 feet down. You are banned from purchasing another Benelli for 10 years. SQUAD, ATTENTION !! Hand salute...... Quote

libertygun Posted January 21, 2012 Author Posted January 21, 2012 I appreciate the SERIOUS responses. (You know who you are). There is no depth to the 'scratch'. It is all a level surface. I think I'll hit it with the touch up paint. I'll be more careful from now on. What have I learned?... It's not a good idea to try ghost/carrier loading on your first time picking up the shotgun.

DS12ga Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Don't worry just give it to me and you won't have to be worry about it ever again. Quote
Spike100 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 You gain a lot of freedom after putting that first deep scratch on your gun. Now you can stop worrying about keeping the gun pristine. “Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ else to lose…” --Spike Quote
mike4 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Pull a sharpie along that scratch Or keep the paint to a hairline bare minimum. enjoy that monster Quote
