Benelli M2 problem

[phinton81]

I just bought a brand new Benelli M2 in camo and have immediately noticed that the camo can be chipped off of the receiver very easily. I have not even fired this gun yet, has anyone else experienced this? I can literally scratch the paint off with my fingernail. I am trying not to be too fussy but this is $1500 gun. I am confident that Benelli/Epps will look after this situation, I am just concerned that it is a problem inherent to these guns. I have owned other camo guns and the finish seemed much tougher. Not impressed,

I purchased my M2 used and the camo was coming off the front of the receiver where the barrel meets it.I've had the gun for a couple of years now and it hasn't gotten any worse.I had to check mine after reading your post and my camo doesn't scratch off with my fingernails.Hope Epps/Stoeger makes this right for you.

Benelli M2

I've had mine for a few months now and fired about 100 rounds through it
and I've had no issues

I've also got the HD camo finish on mine and no concerns with it

I'll keep an eye on mine just in case

I have a sbe camo barrel that I'd like to get the camo off, but can't. Tried everything, even acetone.

Don't think it should flake off that easy.

I have a SN in camo and the finish is still going strong with no issues, and about 100 shots. I wonder if Benelli has a different camo process for a $600 vs $1500 gun??
