Double Badger Chiappa - Rust on a BNIB gun? Is this normal?

[tokguy]

A couple questions
1. If bought over the counter and you see this would you by it??
2.Arriving NIB are you expecting rust or blemishes?? This reduces value of rifle.
I WOULD SEND IT BACK.
ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE RETAILER ACCEPTING A RETURN SHOULD BE POSTED FOR ALL TO READ.
SHOULD BE POSTAGE PAID BY RETAILER.
WHO IS THE RETAILER???

The Cap's lock makes you come across as intense.
And koodu's to the OP for not posting. Sometimes the 'Long Game' that folks play wins too... as opposed to ' Opening your mouth and having your guts fall out'
I did this once with M*rst*r. John just totally validated the bad rumours that followed him...but naming folks / businesses on an open forum should be your last option, not your 1st.

Thanks, I just wanted clarification because of their email. It didn't make much sense to me to buy a brand new gun and have it in this shape.

They have sent a prepaid label once I stood my ground saying it was unacceptable and if the rest of their stock was like this they should contact the supplier.
Appreciate all the feedback everyone!

I don't want to spread negativity as they have been quick at communication and it doesn't help anyone to raise the torches and pitchforks unless they are trying to sell me a used or rusted rifle. Then the floodgates can open on them.
