Deltaboy Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Does anyone have a finish coming off their Benelli. My M4 is brand new and already is coming off. The barrel only not the receiver or the magazine tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric7 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I thought they have a 10yr finish warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farout3 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) I just bought mine in H20 cerakote and the first time taking it to the range ..Had a soft case for it while transporting and shot about 50 rounds of 00 Buck thru it,.. now I see a few 2-3 marks on the receiver and 1 on top of the barrel.. I have no idea how these marks got on there as I am super careful with this shot gun and do not lay it on the ground and have babied it since I got it about 2 weeks ago.. I am thinking about calling Benelli corporate about this.. Edited February 9, 2021 by farout3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButchP Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 It is a tool, but I would be pretty upset as well with that little use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farout3 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Right, I understand that but for the price and taking it to the range 1 time since I bought it about 4-5 weeks ago. I should not be seeing these things happening on the coating granted if I dropped it or was careless however over time I understand and what purpose you use it for as well but that was not the case here unfortunately. I already made the call to Benelli USA about this we shall see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButchP Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Yeah, they are pricey and hope they take care of you. From what I hear, their customer service is pretty good. Keep us posted on the process and outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t blame Benelli for the finish damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Smith Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Have M4.On first 7” of barrel from receiver it developed 9 pin prick like spots to bare metal. Have not dropped or abused in any way. I’m going to to call beneli tue. This is nuts on gun this expensive. Has anyone else seen ,or heard of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farout3 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I called Benelli USA, opened up a case had to send it in and had to wait 2-3 months until it came back to me. They ended up stripping it down and redoing the H20 finish.. Go figure on a brand new shotgun with 1 day at the range.. seems to be a bigger problem with these finishes and this cerakote h20 coating. Wish they kept the NP3 coating like in the past this cerakote coating seems to come off alot faster with minimal use and seems cheap.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people love & praise cerakote but I’ve own 3 firearms that came from the factory with it and it only took one range trip for bare metal to be exposed in the friction areas. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the same on my barrel, a few shiny exposed spots. I shoot approx once a week for the last year so I assume in my case normal wear and tear, carrying in range bag, disassembling, cleaning, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pack Rat Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Barrels are parkerized unless cerakoted anymore. Neither are the most durable or protective finish. I have a few scrapes on mine. What bothers me most is the rust coming through the parkerizing (at least that’s how it looks to me) . I see two options either keep oiling the trouble spots and deal with it or send the barrel (or whole shotgun) off to be coated. Neither is ideal but life’s not fair.
