tucker301 Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 If you brush some water on your monitor while viewing a picture of a SBEII online, it will rust a little. Quote
Novaking Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 yep, I was cleaning my benelli and thinking of a beach on the ocean, looked down, %$#@ rusted benelli Quote
splashtx556ftw Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 LOL 2 funny, i dang near fell out of my chair....wife thinks ive lost my mind. Quote
shrike Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Rust problems?? Here is a good solution that lasts for quite some time. Forget about oils and greases. The stain your hunting garments and wear off quickly. I coat all my rifles and shotgun exterior steel surfaces with Johnsons floor wax paste or turtle car wax. Wipe down the wax. Let dry then rub with a dry cloth or paper towel, go hunting in a wet boat on a rainy day and enjoy yourself. No more rust problems. Repeat once a while. It works great! Shrike Quote
Misfire Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 if you use that paste wax and one of those orbital polishers ! WOW that would put a finish on it. that stuff works even better if you put it on your floor at home. Quote
Novaking Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I would love to sit and chat, but its raining outside and my benelli's are inside, in the gun cabinet rusting as we speak. Got guns to clean!! Novaking Quote
splashtx556ftw Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 :Dnu-finish & a coat of clearcoat maybe? Quote
splashtx556ftw Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 dig this. i took the barrel of my al-48 off the other day and started putting water on the under side where it sits above the forestock. it took 4 days to start showing any signs of rust. am i bored or what?? Quote
waterfowler050 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 i had a rust problem with my mossberg 500 but it is 30 years old. all i did was some wd40 and break free and 4 ought steel wool rubbing very lightly came right off. but with a nice benelli if you can affords it get it re blued. Quote
leftyone Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Paid $1200 for LH SBEII three years ago. They're running about $200 more than that now. Try $400 more here, paid $1600 for mine (with tax) and it's been great so far Quote
impetuous Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I've used my Nova for 5 years and got lots of rain and salt water on it....but no rust problems. When I bought it the salesman knew I would be waterfowling and strongly recommended that I get the camo model. I really think that the camo coating has been helpful in protecting the gun ...and it has no sign of peeling off like my son's 11-87 is. After each hunt I fog the gun down with WD40 and no worries.

dukmann2 Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I have a Super Nova, about a year and a half old. I too have a problem with the barrel rusting. I have to take a rag with oil on it and wipe the barrel when duck hunting. I also have a problem with mis firing. I have tried everything mentioned on this site, but nothing works, it still fires when it wants to. Now, I have a friend who has a Super Nova thats about 5 years old and no problems at all. Something was changed in the last 2 years and the quality went in the toilet for the Super Nova, and I see complaints about the Stroger 2000 firing when it wants. But Benelli hasnt said a thing about the problem, or that they will look into it. Quote
oldboots Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 dukmann2-- I'm curious. What has Benelli CS had to say about your problems with your Super Nova? Quote

Banjo MD Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Is anyone else dissapointed with rust problems on their Benelli? Rust in 6 hours!!! Unbelievable... A few days ago I shot my Benelli in a snowstorm (I know, I shouldn't have!) Well, as I lined up on H1, a snowflake went in the barrel and immediately caused so much rust that the barrel was obstructed as I pulled the trigger and the gun blew up! Do you think Benelli will replace it? Quote

There should be a comma after "snowstorm," and there should be a period at the end of the parenthetical section in the first sentence. However, your creativity far outshines these minute shortcomings! Keep up the good work! I really enjoyed your post. Best wishes, Your freshman English teacher (from 43 years ago?) Quote
