I recently picked up a McMillian A4 stock for my FN rifle. I purchased new bottom metal and sent it off to have the stock inletted and the bottom metal installed. I recently got it back and upon inspection noticed that the rear of the receiver is bent. It looks like it was probably dropped, pictures below, but that said, how will this impact the rifle. Do I need to try to have it repaired and if so how would I go about getting it repaired?

They fucked up by not acknowledging that in the first place. I hate that bs, I had an expensive part dropped and got the shop to own up to it and fix it.
That said, it really should have no impact on the finished product. I would be pissed though. You should name the place, that is BS. And first off , contact them. They have no business letting that happen and trying to hide it. |

Send those pics to the shop that did it. That is Shit work and you could clean it up with a file. I would not give those hacks another bit of business.

I would call and talk to them about it and see what they say. As mentioned it shouldn't effect anything. If they didn't do anything for you then I would out them and then I would take a dremel and smooth out the dimple on action, put it in the stock and shoot it.

Before I go off on a rant, are you sure it was not like that from the factory? Did you pack it well?

It got slammed on the tang at some point. If you packed it well it either happened at the shop or in shipping back to you.
Pretty minor damage, but still a box of wtf. That really smacks of shipping damage though. |

File it down and have it cerakoted on their dime. I'd send pictures and see if they if it was damaged while they had it. Either way I'd file it and cerakote it, call it done.

I've seen this before on an FN action. I want to say on Scout. Did you buy this action new or used?

Just dremel it flat, bed the action and shoot it. You are worrying about this way too much. It's not that big of a deal where it is. Not like it's the rifle crown.

Agreed. I would put it back together after filing it down and shoot it. I seriously doubt this will impact the rifles accuracy. I too have an FN SPR. It has its dings and such. It can take a beating. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Lunchbox27:

Not something you expect to get back but you could have fixed it in less time than it took to write your post. Let whoever did it know about it though.

Thanks everyone, it's fixed.
For what its worth, the vendor did offer to repair, but I didn't feel like shipping it again. |

From a business owner stained point, I would want to know if one of my guys did this.
From a consumer stained point, I'd fix it and move on with my day. You did a very fine job of repairing that. |

Good job on the receiver fix. Does it cover the dent in the stock that was made by the bent edge?
I have had similar experiences with every gun I have had "in the shop". Careless fuckers with a shop doing sloppy work exist in all trades. I have some work I want done now on 2 rifles. I just can't bring myself to initiate the process. I am damn sure that I am going to get the tools to put new Remage barrels on my 700's. I still want the actions "trued up", "blueprinted", "squared" or whatever prior to doing the barrels. |
