From the beginning... I purchased an ar15 from a very reputable company new in box from an online retailer, the action was terrible and felt like it had sand poured in it... Even after cleaning and lubing it vigorously. There were definitely some issues with burrs, machining, or something. I decided to contact said company and they actually told me that they wanted me to send it in, I asked if I could get an upgrade to a 14.5 barrel with a pinned comp on my dime and they were happy to do so. Over a month later I received the rifle back, action better, but still pretty bad. I went to clean the rifle and get ready for the range..... That is when I noticed that they drilled straight through my barrel when doing the pin and weld (straight through a land and slightly over either side of it). Again this is a very reputable company that sells high end rifles ($1,600+). I am not going to bash this company online, but I do want to hear peoples opinions. So, what do you guys think? Is this a safety issue, or just an accuracy issue? There does not seem to be anything protruding, but there should be a pin in there somewhere that could eventually pop loose. Obviously I will be contacting them Monday.
