*THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED WITH 5 STAR CUSTOMER SERVICE*
So I decided to spend some very hard earned cash on the new DD5V1. Bought it new at the local gun store. This is a 9,000+ in stock gun store and I've been dealing with them for over 2 decades. I trust them fully that it was new.
My rifle appears to have been extensively test fired. It was filthy. Unusually filthy. Upon cleaning and inspecting things, I have found two areas that concern me greatly. The bolt cam pin channel has two areas that have metal chipped away. NOT just the coating.....
Again, I bought this new and it has not been fired outside of the factory.
Another concern is the curved buttstock adapter has a tear/rip through the rubber portion.
I love the feel of this rifle but I can't help but feel a little let down with some of the things I'm seeing so far at this price point.
