I purchased Browning BPS recently and it was packaged improperly when shipped to my FFL. He picked up the package from the porch and noticed a scraping sound of the muzzle dragging concrete (completely bare). No idea if it was dropped on the porch or previous to this but obviously it's got some grinding down of the corners of the muzzle. I'm not accepting the transfer yet and have the option from the owner to return it on his dime for a full refund.
I like the gun overall and would like to keep it but have concerns whether or not there could be damage I cannot see if it were dropped hard on the muzzle. The barrel looked to be straight to the naked eye but haven't been able to really check it for true on a flat level surface by rolling it over. Thought to do this when I go back to pick up if I decide to keep it. I got a good enough deal on it at $275 shipped to where I'm considering taking the risk of basically loosing out big time if the barrel or receiver is seriously damaged from this.
I don't know enough to take the gun apart so that's off the table and wouldn't even know what to look for either. Anybody well versed on these able to comment here one way or another before Tuesday? Here's the thread I've been posting in until now but thought this forum was more likely to get a response hopefully. It's a beautiful gun, hoping to keep it without regretting it.
