The FFL I bought the rifle from had to order the rifle for me, it was in a sealed box and the dealer opened the box to get the serial number only, he did not fire the rifle. The rifle was not filthy dirty, but it was dirty from being test fired, and it has a chip in the ejection port. I paid almost $1500 dollars for this rifle and for that price it should be clean and perfect, not dirty and chiped. Maybe im making a big deal out of nothing, but it just doesn`t seem right to me.
