The finish in mine is very good, it just has all pin holes undersized (lol, I never thought I would complain about this)
I'm returning to the store and they will verify if it is something easy to fix or if it needs replacement.

I have 2 BSFs awaiting some range time. The idea behind them is neat, my only complaint so far is that it would be nice to have a shoulder for the gas block to mate up against. 1st AR style barrels I have encountered that don't have this. Took me a minute to figure out why my semi was a single shot. Easy fix once you realize this small detail.
I'm 59x and it's a mess from top to bottom.
Could you give some specifics of the issues yours has?
ATRS, no doubt makes quality products but you have to wait a long time to get it, MDI has issues that should be addressed ASAP before it makes damage to their reputation plus dealers should check them before they ship. I just got my MDI and it's perfect, I really like a takedown screw idea, it can be a great backpack rifle.
I am glad we have more companies stepping up and manufacturing our own Canadian products lets give them a chance to survive.

Arguably, ‘long wait’ is relative.
ATRS is on run #2, and based on my numbers with them on run 1 and 2... they’ll be done approx 350-400 lowers by September.
An unknown number of uppers, as some people are ordering multiples, where as MDI is 1:1 ratio.
Latest batch from MDI has these issues, and is at approx 700 out the door.
This, since sept/oct 2017.
ATRS since August 2018 (not even a year yet)
My friend has been on preorder #1 for the SLR with CDN Gunworx since Aprilish, and still nothing. A year and a half waiting, nothing.
I ordered my first ATRS in Aug, and had it just after the new year. I’m waiting for my second set, and will have it in about 5-6 months (approx).
ATRS will surpass MDI on units sold and in the hands of consumers by early 2020.
I am happy to see MDI is still ‘successful’ - but for how long at this rate with ‘NEA quality’.
We’ve seen from this thread along, low 600 serials are happy with their product, and the lowest recorded ‘not happy’ is in the 50’s.
50/50 on it being a good firearm vs one with major QC issues that technically make it inoperable (gas tube won’t fit, barrel nut won’t thread, etc)
Well even the Oilers win the odd game occasionally when the get everything right, but it sure isn't the norm for either the Oilers or Crapabee.
Happy to hear that a few are made with minimal issues that the purchaser has to correct.
My slr is in the 300 range and it's sitting at 500 rounds down range as of yesterday. Went together with no issues (other than I lost my buffer retainer and spring because I was dumb and never built an AR before) had no issues with the mags fitting or any parts at all. All I can give is my experience with it and it's been 100% since I got it
I was being glib, but it's just a matter of QA/QC. There's a whole set of variables that can affect the final part, i.e. tooling and bits are wearable. And there wouldn't be a single process that would just "make the receiver". So every single operation you end up working the metal within a defined set of tolerances. The tighter your tolerance, the more your time your workers would have to spend going back reworking, figuring out how something went out-of-spec. Which means more $$$. That is my layman's understanding of mfg.
parallel in auto industry, one of the reasons why Toyota (i.e. the newcomers) beat out GM/Fords/Chevys of the world back in the day (late 80's), a culture of superior QA/QC.
Back in the day indeed. Toyota has been steadily pushing out utter #### since their crap is made in Mexico.
