So I got a M&P Sport. Upon looking it over I noticed a slight nick/dent on the receiver. It was done during manufacture as it has the black finish covering it. Just wondering if an imperfection like this is normal. As if the reciever was dropped before anodizing or something. I know you are going to be like "It's a gun, not the mirror for the Hubble space telescope." Still, I'm just wondering if this is a normal mark.
My other M&P reciever doesnt have a mark like this http://i39.tinypic.com/1124jrr.jpg |
| I have a rifle that was so beat up before anodizing, that it should be a warranty issue LOL. But the rifle works, and that is all I care about. They were cranking them out a few months ago so fast that I am sure they were milling receivers and tossing them in a big pile as fast as they could. This beat them up pretty good. |

Really? It's not a mark on the finish, it's an actual physical feelable indentation. There is also a mark by the mag release switch. Metal touches metal during the manufacturing process. Things get picked up, handled, bumped, dropped, etc. Really, its fine. Wait until you see what happens to the brass deflector.

OP, this is NOT normal, it's a dent, it will not affect functionality, but if it bugs you, by all means talk to seller about it
it's exactly because consumers tolerate these kind of poor QC as "normal", the manufacturers are more and more careless about their products. just remember, the $$$$ you paid is pristine with no dent

Since this is a technical forum, I'll just say that they're not a problem and I don't think that I would have ever noticed it in the first place.
Beyond that, welcome to arfcom. "That littlle guy right there? Don't worry about that little guy." "Good enough for me!" |

I just take pictures of mine, so it's not a problem. |
