Boca, speaking from experience you should always inspect your firearm at the FFL before you sign it out as delivered. They are responsible for it until you sign for it. You will most likely be told you are screwed since you signed it out at your FFL. I did the same as you once a while back. I didn't inspect the rifle, just opened the case to verify it was what I bought and the serial number and didn't turn it over or anything to inspect. Got the thing home and found a huge deep scratch that wasn't on any pics on gunbroker and I didn't really see any damage to the shipping container. But since I accepted it at my FFL that was enough for gunbroker to say oh well it's yours now. Hopefully you have better luck than I but it was for sure a learning experience.
