I recently purchased a Yugoslavian produced SKS rifle from one of the large gun auction sites. The seller had a crate of them and showed one rifle in absolutely perfect condition. 0 blemishes anywhere on it. The condition was listed as “LNIB” and the specimen he chose to post photos of (the other rifles were just shown inside the crate with no details) truly looked brand new. Here is a photo from the auction:
Well my advertised “like new unissued” rifle arrived today and this is what the side looked like:
I wrote the seller saying my rifle had damage and he wrote me back saying it was a surplus rifle and was probably from the other rifles in the crate damaging it. This was my response:
What would you all do in this situation? Thank you for your thoughts.

Thanks for the fast response. It just would have been nice to know these marks were present as the rifle in the pictures has no marks like it whatsoever and that is why I decided to pay the premium for one of your rifles.
There was nothing in the auction to suggest these marks and to show only a spotless rifle while expecting customers to understand their rifles are going to be damaged from packing/shipping is a bit disingenuous.
What would you all do in this situation? Thank you for your thoughts.
