Ok I purchased a new Chiappa 1892 .357 magnum lever action last week from an interstate gun shop and picked it up from my LGS yesterday.
I took a look at it last night and found the magazine tube was rattling around. On close inspection the dovetail for the retainer clip is damaged. This means the clip is retained, but loose.
This damage to the barrel itself. It's supposed to be a brand new rifle... See pic attached:
I will be contacting the gun shop on Tuesday about it. Do you think the firearm should be replaced or should/could it be repaired?
I'll have to send it back to Victoria to get anything done to it
