fastshooter03 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Just like on an AR---I took apart a Versamax for the first time and the bolt carrier cam-pin is worn down to flats. Will the Benelli one work and last longer? It was still functioning but I'd like to have it closer to correct.... The new one will get grease!!!!

fastshooter03 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the knowledge Kurt. It sucks when you get free stuff to use and it's got some wear on it.... Nick Edited June 20, 2014 by fastshooter03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy2 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 What kind of grease do you use on a cam pin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I use the moly paste from NECO. this is a high load area and that stuff seems to stick around the best. I also use it on AR cam pins and they all show very little wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastshooter03 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 I bought both the M2 and M4 pin from Brownells. Both would work but the M2 pin has flats on it and M4 does not so I am using the M4 pin. They both have a nice Hard Chrome finish. I also installed the roll pin in place of the original FP pin o-ring retained "design"..... It's probably been covered but the roll pin size is 1/8" by 1/2" or you can also use an AR trigger guard roll pin which is 1/8 x 5/8" Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headworked Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I recently took a friend's VersaMax apart to do some tuning, and noticed his cam pin had significant wear also. I no longer have access to a Wilson tester, but I'd like to know difference between hardness of VersaMax and the benelli cam pin... Seems like the vm pin is case hardened, but soft in the middle... This pin had a 1/32" deep pothole where it bangs into the transition corner of cam slot in carrier...never seen a benelli pin wear that way.
