Brother sent me those photos I asked for.
I'd have to say yup damaged in shipping and its kinda superficial. If it was me I'd ask for $20 credit or something rather than ship it back (across Canada...and back again...what's that $80?) but IDK.
He has "gun fever" now and this is his 1st ever gun purchase so he's a bit picky. He does have several other guns all picked out, lol...wants a handgun for the bedroom, a "sniper" rifle for plinking (I keep pushing M14, he keeps saying Remington SPS tactical ...meh).... I hope he isnt too put off. Gun looks pretty good imo.
Anyway I've attached ALL his photos just for eye candy. (grease and grime still on gun, fresh out of box, fyi). The front sight post is a bit off but hey its a shotgun.... not sure what he will do. Photos here:

AAAGGHHH WTF!!!! Why is photobucket using my FACEBOOK information????
*** delteing ALL photobucket pictures AND photobucket account***
]
all photobucket photos deleted other than these ones....these will auto terminate in 48hours. Facebook account also being deleted, entirely- this was their last straw. I have every right to expect privacy when it comes to my online alias and my real name....I go out of my way to not link the two. Oh well. Bye bye FB and PP.
Here are the photos....busted up front post first
(its not that bad really)

(grease and grime still on, gun not cleaned, fresh out of box)
UPDATE:
My question:
how could the front site post be damaged during shipping if the styrofoam protector was still on it?
His reply:
was still on the gun but bashed through. end of
barrel was sticking out of damaged box
Shipping did the damage for sure...
