Roo5ter Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Yesterday I finally got the new M4 I've been wanting for about 12 years. Turns out it has probably been sitting too long somewhere.. Can someone confirm that the bolt link is not normally manufactured like it is in the pic? I think that needs to be put in under warranty and maybe a 100% breakdown to check some of the other small parts this weekend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClackClackBAM Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Yikes... I'd definitely reach out to Benelli on this. The warranty begins from the day you buy the firearm new from an authorized Benelli distributor. Just be able to provide proof of purchase and you should be all set. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 That’s pretty rough on that bolt link. It won’t likely effect function though. the hammer and pistons seem normal to me. The bolt link is probably the most half assed made part on the Benelli. It’s sandwiched together steel shins riveted together. If someone made a one piece unit, I’d buy that. I’m sure Benelli will replace or repair those parts for you if you’re willing to wait on their slow tech support services. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exac Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Thought I'd share my link, definitely worrisome looking on my new M4 Any idea if this affects durability? Only other thing I've noticed so far is the firing pin retaining pin o-ring is broken and hanging on by a thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrape that shit off, clean and oil it then send another picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had not considered this part in the past, but it’s possible titanium could be used for such a part to lose some weight. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that stuff isn't prone to rust... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
