Yes, I know, but it is just the fact that it is now 'flawed'. Kind of like buying a new car and while your driving it home, you get a dang rock chip in the window - it doesn't hurt anything per say, but it just pisses you off or finding out that the neighborhood kid down the street soiled your teenage daughter - not much you can do about it, but not happy about it either. At least I CAN get my mauser bolt face repaired to almost like new, unless I can fit a new, unnumbered one.


Why bother, it is likely that another will appear and annoy you again.


These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.
