Rather than publicly bash it, why not call them and ask for a replacement. I have found them pretty easy to deal with. Most likely should not have gotten shipped, but I don not understand why folks do stuff like this. Do you feel better now? I bet we can find issues with every product made. Just sayin......goodshot!
If I had posted pics of the 1st McMillan A3 McSwirley that I purchased, Ya'll would have flamed me for bashing McMillan. (Not to mention that based on a sample of one, I'd never have had another...) It didn't look a whole lot better than that B&C.
Fortunately for both of us, I forgave them and purchased a few more. (I believe I can count at least eight of them now...)
Just sayin....
BTW, I've had a few B&C's as well, But they are certainly NOT my 1st choice...
