Man, that's disappointing rafsob. The fit on theGP I bought in November was fine. Butt plate is perfect. Nose cap is perfect. There's a little gap around the tang, but not much. Wood was dark and a little dull and splotchy looking, but two coats of TreWax furniture polish finished it off nicely without too much shine.

I agree withcayugad. Send it back. I've always had good luck with Midway and would bet they make it right.
