Hi guys, just received my first Dominion Arms/Norinco M14s, barrel marked SOCOM 18 and unpacked it this afternoon, it was dripping in so much oil the packing box was oozing oil! Any way when I stared to clean it, I noticed the the barrel tread exposed at the gas block, I thought the gas lock was missing but it's not. Is this considered "normal" Chinese manufacture ? Is this a safety issue when fired? Thx for any advice u can give me.
