I can't really see the chamber well enough to know. It looks more like a packing oil/light grease than a finish issue. The finish under the forearm isn't delicate per se, but I imagine he just forced it on. If one has it too far out of line or it binds in anyway, it can scratch it. The barrel ring that goes around it has pretty sharp corners. I am not sure how I'd feel about it either. I'm a stickler for condition and even my 31 year old Super Black Eagle is in dang good shape and it has been hunted hard every season, particularly from Sept. 1 through end of year following the different bird seasons. But, I have dinged around where the two halves of the receiver join together. I finally found a technique that worked, but at first there was just too many things to keep track of all at once. I imagine the Cabela's guy doesn't have much experience and was rushing to assemble.
