Got My Alaskan Scout: Doesn't Look Right

I learned an important lesson from this thread, not gonna touch a chiappa product with a ten foot pole.
 
bought a brand new Marlinton 30-30 and it had bullet mark too.
about the rust, not the sellers fault looks more like a factory botched job.
 
eesh... really is shocking how these made it out the door.
The spot rust I can almost make an excuse for (moist packing?)

The fact that it looks like dozens of rounds have gone through it though... terrible.
I have an older Chiappa (blued) and it looked new when I got it (from Wanstalls. Thanks.)

Been following this thread. Curious to see how Wanstalls handles it. Onto the bad: I've had a Tactical Ordinance .22lr with them for a good long while now, no word on replacement yet (even though Tactical Ordinance said they replace it immediately - 6months ago.) last I heard it was still in Canada. :(

Good luck at any rate. Terrible product this time around.
 
Have a Chiappa SAA revolver in 22, 22magnum, it is a ugly little gun, but it works well and is fun, if I paid a bunch for it I would have been unhappy, but it was under $300, so BBQ paint is about what I expected. So same kind of dicey finish on their handguns also.

mine just arrived in the same condition as the op, it was definitely fired other than the finish the gun cycles smooth and is the coolest lever action i have seen i just want one that looks new

So far there are 3 of us with blemished rifles. The thing that sucks the most is that other than a messed up finish the gun is flat out awesome. I really hope there are enough replacements in proper new condition.
 
Got mine to day. All this talk has really bothered me .The waiting and not knowing what I was going to receive was torture! Buyer's remorse was real bad. But! I am hear to say and happy so! Mine is as new condition no rust or pitting starting any where! As it should be. Now my concern's. The from sight is lose, it slides back and forth easily, will have to stake it or shim it some how. I tried to remove the barrel , not happening. And no! I am not limp wristed . is this usual? Are they just hard or am I missing something? How much force is needed? Pipe wrench and bench vice not an opinion please advise! Other than that happy with it. And yes I removed the the ammo tube, and opened the action.:confused:
 
For the price of those bad boys, I will stick with the Rossi as simple and clunky as it may be. I think you guys are pretty patient despite the circumstances. I would be more on the angry side if I received any product in that condition.
