Drew,
Thank you for reposting my link as a photo. I can’t say that any part is knocked off or missing. What you see in the photo to the left side of the sight is an impression left from the rear of the casehardened receiver smacking into it. Same thing happened between 10 & 12o’clock. Notice that area is a bit “mushroomed and appears to have heavier wall thickness. The nasty one at 6’oclock is a gouge, that’s metal gone not displaced.
ebb, thanks for your post, I’m not going to fret it, I’m thankful that the damage went to the muzzles and not the breach’s. Still the fact remains that my 30” barrels are now reduced to 29 7/8”, wall thicknesses are thinner and there is still noticeable damage. All because of professional laziness in packaging. I’d say someone owes me a few bucks. My intent here is to get a fair and reasonable assessment of damage by information provided from me to this panel.
