I wondered if the scuffing I get when loading pellets into my AA S400F is normal

I roll the pellets in, and over the past couple of weeks (since I bought it new) there are lots of scuff marks appearing

Do I have to put up with it or can the black coating be renewed or cleaned somehow

Not sure if I like the looks of that, just had a quick look at one of mine, and there are no scuff marks and that's at least 6 years old, and got a 14 year old one out and nothing on that either, is that a .22 Rog

.177

Unless it's going to rust at some time, does not really bother me

I suppose if I mention it to the retailer they will tell me it's normal wear and tear

Are you getting much play on the pellet probe when it's nearly upto the breech.

Not really

It's just when I look at second hand pics of the gun, they all look solid paint jobs around the pellet loading area (the flat bit not the hollowed out bit)

I presume they are made of steel
