Fix my gun Benelli M2 QC

Just got a brand new Benelli M2. Had to return others due to machining defects in the sights and reciever (dents that have the factory finish over them)

Newest example i got has some of the worst machining mistakes I have seen around the barrel ring.

Stoeger customer support told me to kick rocks and it wouldn't be covered by warranty. I suppose it is cosmetic, but for a $2000+ premium shotgun, I expected more.

I've seen a lot of people talk down on turkish guns, but so far italian manufacturing has left a lot to be desired.

Anyway, if anyone has any recommendations for touching up the finish and gap on the side (picture 3) i would appreciate it.

I am genuinely confused how someone at the factory could mess it up this bad. Customer service refusing to do anything is really insult to injury.

Post a review, post it everywhere, reddit is a good start. If you have photos & evidence then you are doing nothing wrong in giving an account of the poor customer service you received. Post on the store, on CGN, etc.

Thanks for the support, I was worried this wasnt the right place to post this.

Definitely going to take some better photos and share my experience elsewhere. 🍻

Worst case if you post something on reddit and it's not a fit is we'll remove it and tell you. As long as its in good faith we don't do anything rash.
