Have you ever found something wrong with a new-in-the-box (NIB) unfired firearm?
This question goes with the idea of field stripping and inspecting a new firearm before the first use.
I have heard tell that some have found the recoil spring on backwards (on some firearms there is a big end and a little end to the recoil spring).
So, have you ever found anything wrong that you corrected before the first round was ever fired?
Once I found a magazine that had the spring in backwards and was rubbing, just unhooked it from the follower, flipped it around, hooked it up, put it back end, pushed on the floor plate, good to go.
