If its any consolation, the two Forbe clones I had from Maine looked the same way.
Its as if the action literally pulls some of the bedding material away when they are separated. Even though they both shot very well, it looked sloppy. ditto on the bolt travel.
I hope they aren't sacrificing quality to satisfy consumer demand.
