Long story short, I just bought a 12 gauge SuperNova online. I received it by mail, no damage on the box/wrapping. As I opened the box, I noticed a defect in 2 spots very close to each other on the stock, just above the safety pin/trigger with the camo gashed out at just over an 1/8” in diameter in both spots. It seems as though it was a poor attempt at an engraving? I emailed the merchant who sold it, they gladly accepted the exchange, waiting for Monday to send it out. But the lady was telling me the gunsmith explained to her it was “almost part of the process” and that the stamp on these guns are put on AFTER the camo and that the one they have in stock for me as my exchange, is A BIT BETTER, which isn’t very assuring to me. This is my first purchase of a coated 12 gauge so, I’m asking you very knowledgeable folks, if they’re pulling a fast one on me (which I suspect), or if this actually a known/normal issue? thanks in advance guys!
