ive been meaning to ask this for awhile.i replaced the fixed tube for a 3 position tube.i shot the gun and everything worked fine.when i got home and broke down the gun,i can see where it looks like the carrier just kissed the rear of the reciever.im not sure honestly if this happened pre tube change out though as i never looked as the gun was new.i did shoot it a little before the tube change.i looked at the back of the carrier and dont see really any thing damage wise.anyway,this kinda freaks me out as i dont to risk messing my gun up.thanks

Pictures are great for sharing. Best way to convey what is actually happening.

When you changed out the stock tube, did you use a factory Benelli tube or an aftermarket tube?  Have you measured the depth of the tube from front to back to see if they are the same length or not?  What is the round count on the recoil spring assembly, and have you changed it out for another factory or aftermarket spring?
