Choff 2 Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 I've just had a new bsa lightning xl grt delivered. I've been shooting quite a while but this is my first ever brand new gun, shortly after opening I noticed a mark/dent on the front of the stock. It's fairly small but its pretty annoying to see on something brand new and I really wish it weren't there. Should I demand a replacement, or am I being overly picky Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I told him it certainly wasn't done my end as I opened it on my bed and unless my duvet has some hard edges I've missed, then it happened before I received it. Hopefully he's not going to be an arse, even if he does I'll send it back straight away via parcel force. It's a shame as it's their last one. The gun was actually £40cheaper than anywhere else so I'm still tossing up if i got a good deal even with the mark. I'll have a sleep on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dervburner 2,549 Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 The finish doesn’t look all the good on that stock anyway. Looks like it’s been varnished with a yard brush. Good to know you’re getting a new one fella 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
