Gun and gear reviews Would you accept this?

Received this box after a long wait. Imported from the states. Barrel is far from ‘free floating’ in fact it’s almost ‘bedded’ on the right side of the barrel. I’ve heard story’s of the Gen 2 American’s not being seated well, but IMO this is unusable.

With this being imported, there is an almost zero chance of it being replaced ……

I'm not bro but my RAR favors heavily to the right side of the stock, not touching though. Maybe .050" clearance on the side. And at 100 meters my latest results are this:

Pmc, 55 grain FMJ: 3.63" Frontier, 55 grain OTM: 2.862" Federal 62 grain FMJ: 2.409" PMC M855: 2.30" Federal GMM, 69gr Smk: 1.680" Hornady Black, 75 grain: 1.829" Hornady V-8, 75 grain: 1.504" Pmc, 77grain Smk: 2.761

So not great for a modern rifle, but not absolute ass. With handloading 69 grain Sierra MatchKings I think the groups could get into an inch or an inch and a quarter at 100 meters

However for comparison a wk180 Gen 1 I used to own would get all 5 shots in a 1 inch square at 100 meters with 69 grain matchkings, repeatably... so do with that Information what you will
