When sold AS IS, it is pretty simple: No warranty. Buyer beware.
Now, we can argue what 'blemish' means all day, but it isn't solely relegated to finishes. Dimensions can fall in that category too.
You imply that you knew there were issues when you bought your lower. I bet the anodizing looked pretty near perfect. I know mine did.
But I also had heard about the issues, and checked the mag well prior to making the purchase.
The bolt release roll pin hole took a little while to get done, as I believe it was slightly undersized, but with a little patience I got it in, and didn't hurt anything. Another example of a blemish.
I didn't have the same issue with the bolt catch spring and pin, so maybe that wasn't an issue on all of them.
However, I ordered a non blem from brownells, and it's perfect. But I paid more for it, too....
But CMMG is far from the only company to sell blem parts and not warranty them. Hell, RRA ****ed up a large run of flat tops for the first SEGB on TOS, and claimed it was 'the new spec'!!! Not sold as blems!!Straight ****ed up. That was a case where there was recourse, as the warranty was in full effect.
It's not in this one.
What did you want them to do? Send you a brand new lower when you knowingly bought a blem? Address the issues that made it a blem, so that it no longer was?
Kinda defeats the purpose of selling them off as blems, as is.
