I have a brand new S&W 25-15 Classic. You may have seen it in the other thread.
Anyway, when I bought the gun I noticed a scratch in the bluing on the barrel. At first I thought about declining the purchase, but the odds of me finding another are very slim unless I want to drive a long way in the hopes another would be perfect.
Here are the marks / scratches in the barrel:
The store says these scratches came from the factory, but I doubt that. I say that because if the look the first guy I showed to had on his face when I said “See these scratches? We’re they there when tithe gun arrived here?”
I got nothing but a dumb look.
Here are my questions:
1. Do you think S&W would correct this?
2. Would they have to remove/ replace the barrel to correct this?
If they would remove the barrel I am just going to leave the gun as is or maybe hit the scratch with a Cold Blue pen.
This gun is sighted perfectly for me and is accurate right out of the box. If there’s the chance that accuracy or POA would be affected I will just leave it. I am sure that in time I will bang it up... Especially if it looked perfect. This gun will be holster carried eventually and it will get shot a lot. Love this gun. It will see use.
Thank you
