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 ……

Can't you just take some material out of the barrel channel on the side that it's touching? A little hand file or dremmel work should take care of it in short order. Just take your time doing it to make sure you dont take too much.

Definitely COULD do that But I’m almost sure, after looking at the condition of the box it arrived in, that the action screw anchors have moved to been damaged. If I knew it came from factory like this, I would most definitely be doing that, yes
