Bigamos Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) Ok I bought a new Beretta Silver Pigeon 1 Sporting Deluxe, and after the first day out at the pheasants, I noticed the gun was REALLY hard to open....! I have noticed the gap between the receiver and forend is rubbing, and has removed the coating on the receiver, leaving it polished bare metal.... I hope I have explained this well enough.... BUT would you return the gun, or suck it up.....!?!? It is getting VERY hard now to open the gun.....! Quick photo of what is happening....

Guest cookoff013 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 it will rub, you should use grease to lubricate the hingeand all mating surfaces. it should extend the hinges life and make it smoother. i do it to all but one of my shotguns. but that is a pumpaction so no hinge. gungrease. i had a friend who`s jammed shut, he didnt believe in grease.

oscarsdad Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Take it straight back. You didn't part with your hard earned cash to have something fail on its first outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlaserF3 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 If you had read the instruction book before using your new gun it tells you to lubricate the reciever and fore-end iron before using it. That's what happens when you shoot them with no lubricant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigamos Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 If you had read the instruction book before using your new gun it tells you to lubricate the reciever and fore-end iron before using it. That's what happens when you shoot them with no lubricant. I've had 4 new Berettas in the past 3 years, and never had to do that....! It wouldn't matter if it was greased or not, as the two metal parts are too tight...!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 It actually does matter if it's not lubricated, that's why it's galled the metal together. Take it back to the shop and they will tell you the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCarn Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 It actually does matter if it's not lubricated, that's why it's galled the metal together. Take it back to the shop and they will tell you the same thing. Wrong, it needs a light lube but it should never have galled like that... I had it happen years ago on a new 687 sporter, I took it straight back and the owner of the gunshop examined it... he had no hesitation in stating it was a manufacturing issue and he immediately swapped it for a new one. Take it back to the supplying dealer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefulham Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) A problem manufacturing issue with a Beretta, surely not ??!! All we hear is people saying that they are perfect and its only other guns that have issues. Seriously hope it gets sorted out, they are good, just not perfect.

Thunderbird Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 That's odd, mine (new) arrived pretty well lubed and the stock was oiled too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe1978 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Sorry to be a pain, and please excuse my lack of knowledge of gun parts, but are we looking at the dark markings under the two metal bits on the fore-end? Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Mongrel- Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Interesting, seems it was a manufacturing rather than lubrication problem after all despite all the bullishness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 I have read all the posts and have to say that Mike (BlaserF3) has a point which some seem to refuse to accept. I know Mike - and he is straight talking - but I cannot agree that he was abrupt. When buying a new gun - and I had bought a fair number - I never assumed that the dealer would lubricate the parts for me. I have always cleaned off the metal parts and started again - as if I had just cleaned it after a day's shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 I have also read all the points, and I have to say that it's six of one, half a dozen of the other. Blaser was adamant it was a lubrication problem due to having seen it many times before, others disagreed equally strongly. It seems that in this instance Blaser was wrong. I do also feel that the posting style was indeed a tad arrogant, it came across as a case of 'I've seen it before, this is the problem, everyone else is wrong'.

wj939 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 is anyone else noticing more and more bad things about beretta quality control lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 I'm still adamant that it was a lubrication problem and I'll bet anyone a pound that when Bigamos recieves his new gun, the first thing he does will be to clean the gun and correctly lubricate it.

brian28 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 The gun was easy to open at first . Then got progressively worse. Sounds like blaser got it right to me. when i buy a new gun i clean it, and put molibdenum disulphide grease on bearing points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Why on earth would the dealer return it to GMK if it just needs lubing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
