I recently just received my BCM complete rifle that I had bought from G&R tactical. When I received the rifle it was in a cardboard box and wrapped in plastic, however the rifle was not wrapped in bubble wrap. So is it a posibility that the barrel or front sight could have been slightly bent or warped during shipping considering that packages are usually not handled very delicately?
Thanks,
First off did you contact Grant first? He IS a member here. I would suggest that.
Also,Its a BCM rifle buddy…its not carved out of soap and its gonna take a little more than that to be bent.
No. Welcome to the forum.
+1 Unless you see tire tracks all over the box from the Fed Ex truck running over it, it is fine. Now go out and put some rounds through that thing already!
I can’t tell if you are serious.
+1…If the box wasn’t severely damaged and on fire…I would say…You should of shot it already !!! ITS FINE!!
That’s strange.
I’m sure this isn’t Grants first rodeo. I ship everyday in my business, If the box wasn’t beat up badly, I’m certain there was no damage. We’re talking a combat weapon, not a piece of china… shoot it!!
Unless Fed Ex did THIS to your rifle I think youre okay
I’ve had an upper and a lower ship from G&R.
Both arrived intact and I am very happy with the results when I mated the 2 together.
Congrats on a fine carbine!
The armors that would issue out our rifles when I was in the Marine Corps used to take a couple of sections of a cleaning rod screwed together and drop it down the barrel of the gun. When I asked why, I was told it was how they checked to ensure the barrel wasn’t bent.
If you want some peace of mind, I might suggest doing this.
But if the box wasn’t severely damaged, and the gun doesn’t look as if LAV threw it out of a helo, then I wouldn’t personally worry about it.
Hell yeah! Honestly, I was more impressed with the Aimpoints ability to hold zero after all that. That torture test was enough to convince me to get mine!
You think bubble wrap would stop a rifle barrel from being bent?
Your armorers were idiots.
Yut yut.
The gun will be fine unless the package was seriously damaged.
Great choice in a weapon. You should bring questions to the seller/dealer especially since there is an authorized dealer sub forum here. Poke around some more and find it. Welcome.
Nice aimpoints.
:lol:
Thanks! 
Is anything visibly wrong with the packaging or the weapon? If not then why would you assume that something could have been damaged? The barrel is not made from sugar sticks. It is made of steel. Next time address such an issue by contacting the merchant first.
