How Long Will a Benelli Shotgun Last? A Gunsmith’s Perspective on Durability, Round Count & Real-World Longevity When investing in a premium shotgun, longevity is more than a selling point - it’s a promise. And few names carry that promise quite like Benelli. Whether you’re a waterfowler dragging your M2 through flooded timber, a tactical operator relying on the M4, or a clay shooter putting thousands of rounds through a SuperSport, one question inevitably arises: How long will a Benelli shotgun last? Let’s break it down - not with marketing fluff, but with real-world data, mechanical insight, and field-proven experience. 🔧 What Determines Shotgun Longevity? Before we talk numbers, it’s important to understand what affects a shotgun’s lifespan: • Round count (volume of fire) • Maintenance habits • Environmental exposure (saltwater, dust, cold) • Build quality and materials • Design of the action (inertia vs. gas) Benelli’s reputation for durability stems from its inertia-driven system, minimalistic design, and high-grade materials. But how does that translate into years - or rounds? 🧪 Real-World Round Counts: What the Data Says Benelli shotguns are known to withstand tens of thousands - even hundreds of thousands - of rounds with proper care. • 🔹 Tom Knapp, the legendary exhibition shooter, famously put over 500,000 rounds through his Benelli M1 Super 90. The gun was still functional when he retired it to a museum A. • 🔹 On forums like ShotgunWorld and BenelliUSA, users report 20,000–50,000 rounds through M2s and Super Black Eagles with no major failures A B. • 🔹 One user on Reddit mentioned a friend putting 50,000 rounds in five years through a Benelli with no issues C. These aren’t anomalies - they’re consistent with Benelli’s engineering philosophy. ⚙️ Why Benelli Shotguns Last So Long 1. Inertia-Driven System Unlike gas-operated shotguns, Benelli’s inertia system uses recoil energy to cycle the action. This means: • Fewer moving parts • Less carbon fouling • Lower maintenance needs • Less wear on internal components This simplicity is a major reason why Benellis run clean and run long. 2. High-Quality Materials • Cold hammer-forged barrels with chrome lining resist corrosion and wear • Aluminum alloy receivers are lightweight yet durable • Cryogenically treated barrels (on models like the Ethos and SBE3) improve pattern consistency and longevity 3. Modular, Serviceable Design Springs, recoil tubes, and bolt assemblies are easily replaceable. Even after 20,000+ rounds, a simple spring kit can restore factory performance. 🧼 Maintenance: The Key to Lifespan Even the best shotgun won’t last if neglected. Here’s what keeps a Benelli running for decades: • Clean the bolt and recoil spring every 500–1,000 rounds • Light lubrication — don’t over-oil • Inspect the recoil spring every 10,000 rounds • Store in a dry, climate-controlled space Benelli’s design tolerates abuse, but rewards care. 🧮 Estimated Lifespan by Use Case (Text Format) • Casual hunting (low volume use): Estimated lifespan is between 30,000 to 50,000+ rounds. With basic care and maintenance, the shotgun can last a lifetime for a recreational hunter. • Competitive clay shooting: Expected to withstand 100,000 to 200,000+ rounds. These users should plan to replace internal springs every 20,000–30,000 rounds to maintain optimal performance. • Tactical or defense use: Lifespan is typically 50,000+ rounds. Benelli M4 shotguns and similar models are built to military-grade standards and continue to function reliably even when dirty or exposed to harsh conditions. • Neglected or poorly maintained shotguns: In cases of improper cleaning or exposure to harsh environments like saltwater, longevity can drop to less than 10,000 rounds. Corrosion, mechanical wear, and malfunction are common when care is lacking. 🧠 Final Verdict: Will It Outlive You? Yes – if you take care of it. A Benelli shotgun is not just a tool; it’s a long-term investment. With proper maintenance, it can easily last multiple generations. In fact, many owners pass their Benellis down to their children - still fully functional. So whether you’re shooting 100 shells a year or 10,000, a Benelli will keep going as long as you do – and probably longer.

Whale meat vending machine business continues boom in Japan A new set of whale meat vending machines debuted in Japan this week. Kyodo Senpaku Co., a Japanese whaling operator, unveiled them in the port town of Yokohama, approximately 20 miles from its capital city of Tokyo. This is the third vending machine outlet the company has installed in an effort to promote sales after years of struggling to promote its products due to whale conservationists’ protests. In 2018, Japan put an end to the hunting of the animal in the Antarctic and resumed commercial whaling off its coasts. That moved halted the protesters, but the groups still oppose the new machines. “The issue is not the vending machines themselves, but what they may lead to,” Nanami Kurasawa, head of the Iruka & Kujira, or “Dolphin & Whale,” Action Network, explained. Kyodo Senpaku launched three machines at the new space, which is named The Kujira Store, where it peddles delicacies like whale sashimi, whale bacon, whale skin and whale steak, as well as whale meat in cans. The Kujira (Whale) Store, an unmanned outlet that recently opened in the port town of Yokohama near Tokyo, houses three machines for whale sashimi, whale bacon, whale skin and whale steak, as well as canned whale meat at prices from 1,000 yen ($7.70) to 3,000 yen ($23). With uncertain outlook for imports, Kyodo Senpaku wants the government to raise Japan’s annual catch quota to levels that can supply about 5,000 tons, the level Kubo describes as the threshold to maintain the industry.
