Wow, I dropped the ball on this one I think.
I joined this forum a little while back to get information on AR's brands before I made my purchase. Based on my research here I settled on a Daniel Defense V5 and couldn't be happier, I thought. Less than a year goes by with my V5 and the bug bites me again and I end up with a Daniel Defense MK18. NOW I'm wanting to build an AR of my own. I didn't want to purchase one of pricier lowers (Mega, Seekins, Noveske, etc.) for my first build so I researched here again and settled on a forged Aero Precision lower. I figured it was a solid lower that didn't break the bank so I purchased one. This is where I think I've dropped the ball.
I found a killer deal for the lower and assumed that when I read the details for it it would be a for a blem lower, but the ad didn't say anything about that so I ordered it. This was about a week ago. It showed up at my LGS yesterday. The woman working the counter that did my transfer was quite attractive, I guess that's my excuse for not noticing the problem at the store. I didn't notice that the lowers roll markings were inconsistent until I had looked at the lower again when I had gotten home. The main roll mark is deep and very nice but the markings for City/State above the trigger seem to thin out, and the mark at the top of the safety (Bullet with a square around it) is very thin as well. The markings for the safety on the other side are deep and consistent.
I emailed the seller earlier tonight and will call them tomorrow to see if there is any way I can do an exchange. I'm figuring I'm basically screwed, but hopefully they can help me out. Here's some pics. Am I being too critical?!

I can't seem to upload any more photos, and the one that I could isn't a good one.
