I may not be an expert, but, new means just that, new, never been purchased by an individual. Just like when you buy a new car, If it has been bought by an individual it then becomes used. The value immidiatly depreciates. Using 3 or 4 different grades of new is simply double talk. Sounds just like a used car salesman, you know, "oh this AR15 was bought by a little old lady from miami, she never shot it but on sundays, always kept it cleaned and lubed properly, and always kept it paked in the safe when not in use." If I buy a weapon from a dealer that says it's new, it had better be NEW! If I discover otherwise he had better be giving me a rebate or i'm gonna take on out of his you know what! If you got a below retail deal on it then you got what you paid for, but if you paid a fair new retail price for it then seek a partial refund.
