Recently I hunted with Shawn Sims when his Super Black Eagle had some issues with the forearm. The first ring broke in pieces causing the forearm to loosen and begin to slide.

Jun 26, 2010 Where is the model number and the serial number on a benelli supernova? The serial number is on a. Where is the model number and the serial number. Benelli Supernova Serial Number Lookup. I've shot clays at about 4. The Mossberg 8. 35 has been around for 2. Time tells the truth of how good a product is, and with 2. I have not had any problems with the firing pin, a loose stock, or failure to feed. I have however had less than a handful of failure to ejects in the same session.

As the morning went on the problem became worse, the second and third rings broke. He managed to keep it together as we finished our limit of ducks. Back at The Den, several others with Benelli shotguns took them apart to see if theirs had the same issue. Every Benelli gun we checked, 4 in all, had a hair line fracture in the first ring.

I, also owning a Benelli, but didn't have it with me, looked at forums on the net and learned this was in deed a problem with Super Black Eagles and even M2's. I called Benelli USA this morning and spoke to customer service, 1-800-264-4962. I was told the hair line fracture is normal (I still have doubts about that) and was told that if the ring completely breaks, which Shawn's did, they would replace the forearm.

All Benelli needed was the serial number off the gun. The customer service rep asked if the guns in questioned had been shooting 3 1/2 inch shells, I said yes, he then replied that was the problem, of course I responded with, 'you make it to shoot 3 1/2 inch shells so there should not be a problem' He assured me the crack was normal and Benelli would warranty the forearm if the ring broke completely. The rep, said to make sure the forearm end cap is TIGHT at all times, any slack adds additional stress on the rings from the recoil.

I asked if Benelli was looking at a solution to this problem he said not at this time. I own at least one of every shoutgun made by each manufacturer Beretta, Browning, Franchi, Ithaca, Remington, and Winchester, I even own a Charles Daily, I honestly expected a little more from Benelli.

After Shawn's experience last weekend I checked my brand new Benelli when I got home Sunday. Sure enough, the first plastic strut was cracked. I called Benelli Tuesday, and the rep first tried to tell me it was normal wear and tear!! Evil Dan immediately appeared, and I told him f%#k that. I just bought the thing in October!! It's a good thing he didn't tell me it was caused by 3&1/2 shells or I'm afraid something horrible might have occurred. I want my Stoeger back At least the people at Stoeger didn't make excuses.

They just said, 'It's broke.' Oh, by the way, they are sending me a new fore end, but they are backordered on them. It would appear everyone's is breaking.
