tucker301 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 About 400 rounds through mine this far with no visible signs of wear. Can you post a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choclabman Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 I bought mine last September before early goose season. Since then, I have put around 800 rounds thru one and around 50 in the other. No signs of wear, on either one. Unless you count the normal scuff marks from hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birddog Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 yea .. throw a pic up hear so we can see what you're refering to.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFLOYD Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 No wear visible from the outside on mine....however the bolt slide rails do have slight wear inside the receiver, normal I would suspect. I would suspect your issue to be more serious since it triggered you to make a post....and your description of "where the bolt slides".....I would call this "NOT NORMAL"......make phone call.

DJ Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Is what you are describing on the top of the groove the bolt slides in? If so, my old SBE did the same thing. I think it is caused by the empty shell catching on it when it is ejected. Looked pretty bad but never caused me any trouble. Mine didn't start looking bad until a few hundred rounds were fired though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drundel Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Are you talking about where the bolt handle slides back and forth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUCK Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 I am talking about on the ejection side of the reciever, inside where the bolt slides back and forth just as DJ described it ..My old SBE did the same thing . But just as DJ said , it did not cause any problems ....Just think it shoud not be wearing like it is ...Maybe 1000 shell thru it ...Thanks DUCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Mine did it on my old low rib model SBE the most. My newer high rib model doesn't seem to be doing it as bad. I think it's just cosmetic and doesn't cause any trouble. I believe it's where the brass of the ejecting empty hits the side of the ejection port on it's way out.

mudhen Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 My 1991 SBE started to wear right there almost immediately. I checked with Benelli and they said it was normal and would not get much worse after the initial wear. Now in 2005, the wear spot looks pretty much the same as it did in 1991 and that's with about 15,000 rounds through that SBE. mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 The wear on my SBE didn't get any worse after the initial wear either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
