Suddenly, all these 'deals' on possibly blemished IURs....

For that price you can buy 80% lowers and finish it and proud of something you worked on worked out!

That's a crazy for a lower.

bro, im a nice guy!
can i get your good guy discount?

dilli sold me his at cost + shipping
you military guys are pretty cool

I think my friend owes me a bottle of Scotch for the favors and deals I just burn through.

My new IUR makes me sad

It makes me want a lower that I as of yet have not acquired.

It makes me want an optic that I as of yet have not acquired.

I am developing a tic. Sigh.....the OCD is strong in me.

I would be more concerned about their shoddy quality control. Knowing they are blemished and offering them at a discount is fine but saying that they "may" be blemished is telling me they need to really step it up in the QC area.

Who's shoddy quality control?

This is from the O'Dell Engineering Facebook page (The IUR dealer):

"These IUR's are extras and have been shipped overseas and returned. These are extras we got late unlike yours which had never left Canada. Yours was from the pristine group. The ones now are "as is" and have been shipped overseas and returned. Thus the condition is not certain and a few we have looked at had noticeable dings and scratches. Finish is not warranted on these nor do they have charge handles."

The blemishes are not caused by poor manufacturing or quality control.

Well that certainly helps to put my foot squarely in my mouth! Apologies, thought it was a Colt Canada issue.

No worries! I too was uncertain about the blemishes and what caused them until I stumbled across that information from O'Dell Engineering.

Nordic posted a photo of their shipment: plastic bags with a bit of bubble wrap around the ends (maybe) - hence the dings - they were not boxed for shipment, probably as a cost-saving measure to whichever military bought them.
Also explains the discount: would have been a bulk buy discount, along with a penalty to the buyer for returning them.
So: Discount for huge order at military rates
Minus penalty for returning them
- that's my guess

2 very slight marks on mine. Hard to spot unless you really look for them.

finally got my new cc, ordered one from sfrc right away today.
I dont care that much about markings personally, its only a biatch when trying to sell it 2 years from now and the buyer is being anal about it.

Mine is still in the bag, and from what I can see viewing through polyethylene...looks brand new.
