Beretta a400 with cracked spring sleeve. Took it apart to clean it Friday evening and noticed the spring sleeve was cracked at the upper end. First time I've had the gun apart as it's only about a month old and roughly 1,000 rounds through it. Gun shop offered to send it back to Beretta and have them fix it. Found the piece online from Cole and ordered it for around 10 bucks. I'd rather pay 10 bucks and change it myself than drive 45 minutes to the gun shop and have them mail my gun off and wait who knows how long for it. It's not a huge deal as I know things break but I'm not overly excited about a month old gun already needing new parts. From what I gather this is somewhat common on the a400s. Has anyone else had this issue or any other issues with them ?

Just be very careful and go slow during disassembly and it won't happen. Most "victims" don't realize it's plastic until it's too late..
