pipboy Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hi, my name is Sam. I just picked up a brand new Benelli Supernova tactical with rifle sights.I got it home, read the manual and before I even assembling the barrel I notice this on the breach side of the barrel. Is this normal or a defect? To me it looks like a chip. Would it still be safe to fire? I google for pics of benelli supernova barrels but didn't find one showing this angle. Thanks [ATTACH=CONFIG]1626[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipboy Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 I just sent a question regarding to Benelli Customer Service via the website contact page. I have since practiced field stripping and assemble it a few times. The area where it is thin is where the extractor on the bolt turns as the bolt locks into battery. I looked at it with the bolt closed and there doesn't seem to be much room between the extractor and the barrel. It might be designed that way. Hopefully I was just worried and paranoid over nothing. Thanks for your reply. If someone with a supernova could check that area or even post a pic of it, I'd really appreciated This my first shotgun.

tucker301 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 That looks normal to me. CS isn't the greatest at responding to emails. You should call them next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipboy Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 I got a response from Benelli CS. It is just the normal extractor cut on the barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
