Would like to have a receiver checked to ensure it hasn't been damaged by Bubba removing a barrel nut and installing a rail system on a used rifle I'm considering. The dude had it in a vice and really torqued on it with a cheater pipe to break-loose a barrel nut; his words not mine. What are the chances he damaged the receiver? Visually, everything looks fine, but I'm concerned.
Ass-u-me-ing that the upper is black anodized, by the time you get the upper sent off, looked at and returned, you'd probably have as much into it as buying a new upper would cost you.
Of course everything is out of stock but, IMO, BCM blemished uppers are your best deal going @ $59.995 - https://bravocompanyusa.com/bcm-uppe...emo-scratched/ - you can have them email you when they are in stock by using the 'notify me when' box.
Another thought might be to check with the School of the American Rifle and see if Chad would do his gaging magic on the upper - if it's torqued out of spec it just may be of some use to him as an example. He's on here under user name clandestine if you want to PM him.
