Galen Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Hello everyone, I purchased an M1014 brand new at the beginning of the month. After taking the firearm apart to clean it, I noticed areas on the Bolt Assembly Tail that appear to be either bronze/rust colored residue or a bad weld. I also noticed that there appears to be a crack down the tail aswell on the same area. I know crack is definitely a bad word because I'm not sure if thats really what it is or not. It just looks like it. What I want to know is if this is normal or not? Did anyone else have this? I would like to note that I contacted Benelli twice. I got the same gentleman both times who told me it was normal even after looking at the pictures. I'm not saying I don't trust him, I just want more opinions on it because of the amount of money I spent. Anyone's knowledge or advice on this is greatly appreciated. I can't figure out how to upload the pictures on here so I'll go with the flow for now. I know it would help a lot more to have them. I'll try to figure it out after posting this. Thanks everyone!

It looks like copper anti seize. Of course it would have no place there. You know, it looks exactly like the bronze colored grease you find in a new Glock.
