joe117 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 This is a picture of the butt pad on my new Benelli Ultra Light. I have no idea how this piece of the soft plastic butt pad could have broken off. I'm the only one who has handled the gun and I only shot it one time before today. I do like the six pound 12ga very much. I'm sure they will send me a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I dont think Benelli is going to give you a hard time for a replacement pad. Just let them know that it was defective when you bought it but you didnt notice until you got to the shooting range. Looks like someone took a bite out of your recoil pad LOL!

joe117 Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 I just talked to a very nice lady from Benelli CS on the phone. I asked about the butt pad on my new Ultra Light 12ga. The bottom corner broke off. She said that they might be able to send me a new pad. But the gun was so new that they might not have a new pad. She will check on that and call me back tomorrow. She said if they don't have one in stock, then I will have to send the gun back. They will then take the pad off another gun and send it back to me. I said, why not just send me the pad from another gun if you don't have the pads in stock. She said that if they need to pull a pad off another gun, they need to have my gun first. And it will take about three weeks. See? That makes sense doesn't it? I hope they have a pad in stock so I don't have to send them my brand new gun for a major pad replacement.

mudhen Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Sounds like the same nice lady that sent me parts last week. I've seen smaller chunks fall off the Sport II gel pad, but nothing as large as that chunk! Hope the pad arrive soon... mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe117 Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 I have a feeling that they will be able to send me a replacement when they do get some in stock. I'm not in a hurry, there's no need for them to pull one off another gun just to replace mine right away. She also mentioned that there were aftermarket pads available for the Ultra Light. I don't see how that can be true. The gun just came out. I didn't even know that there were replacement pads for the SBEII. I have dealt with Benelli CS one other time. The pad on my SBEII was falling off. It wouldn't stay in place. I was afraid it would come off and get lost. They did send me a new one that solved the problem. The soft plastic pad on the SBEII isn't the same kind of material as the soft pad on the Ultra Light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
