I brought my New rifle home yesterday. Like any kid with a New toy, I had to play with it. I took it outside and strarted fiddeling with it. I put the sling on it. I wanted to see how the internal magazine worked so I loaded 4 rounds into it.I was upset when the rifle wouldn't eject a shell. I tried this on all 4 rounds . Nothing. I called the Gander Mt. I bought the gun at and asked if I could take it to the store near my house. They said it would be fine. I took it in after work today. The gunsmith that looked at the gun asked me how many times I had fired it. I was supprised by the question. I told him I had never shot it. Why?? HE said the action was full of brass shavings and that was why it wasn't working. I was then told that brass shavings only enter the action when a round is passed through it. HE told me this was a used gun. A heavily used gun. [:@]How on earth could a gun shop mistake a new gun for a used one? Now I need to drive all the way to the other side of Columbus and return this gun. The moral to the story is "Look all of your guns over before you buy them". I thought I was safe because I had bought most of my guns at Gander Mt. with out incedent. My mistake. It won't happen again. I looked into the bore when I got home. It is thedirtiest gun I have ever seen. Lesson learned. Any thoughts on what Gander should do to make this right? Refund ... New gun.... New gun and a gift card... Other...
