Hi folks,
I got my new 223 Friday before Memorial Day. I haven't fired it yet but I have to say ... I'm a little disappointed. First of all when my local dealer (who handled my transfer) brought it out I noticed that during shipment, the charging handle had rubbed a big hole in the box. So it had been riding against other surfaces during shipment. Not really a big deal. Handle was a little "shiny" but doesn't bother me. However, the more I look the more I find that seems iffy. For instance, the hood on the front site blade looks bent to me when I sight the rifle. From other angles
