Is this acceptable?

No intent to be a Karen...honestly not sure if this is an issue or fairly standard for blanks. Seeking opinions. Bought new from a reputable gunsmith/company, just got delivered today with this ding...is this acceptable or would you return







Would this be a non-issue after it's chambered and spun on?

I actually like to have that cut off and keep with the barrel so if I do ever feel like the barrel is bad I have that to prove everything about it. When that barrel wears out I throw this out too.

I do this as well for exactly the same reasons. Your bbl. is GTG.

It's a non issue, after chambered, threaded, new crown, etc. will machined, threaded, or turned ...what's spun on? I was a professional machinist for 35 yrs. "Spun on" or "spun up" is not a term used in professional machining...not taught in any trade school, apprenticeship, college machine tool technology, or on the job...ever. Not even a first week apprentice would use that term...and only once.
Slang, and/ or inspiring to being cool, don't cut it...and deletes your intelligence. Precision machining requires precise terminologies, for discussing exacting proceedures, for processing metals to their final form. Professionals stay professional, and help educate...so it's difficult to digest slang, that doesn't apply... but free speech applies, so you get to use any words you choose ...with my blessing...but I'd correct you in the machine shop... "Excellence in Manufacturing" was the logo on the front of the building, competing worldwide for computor, robotics, & government contracts...after 24 yrs in the areospace & nuclear reactor parts refueling business, and 15 of those yrs in Nuclear weapons reactor refueling to make bomb grade material.
A very precise, serious, stern, and extremely regulated business, with a 10 yr prison sentence for falsifying any document or trying to pass on a part knowing it to be out of print...Your signature is on everything that passes through your hands and everything you are required to check must be signed off on...and one guy went to prison for 10 yrs. to let everyone else know, the DOD is serious...but through all the seriousness ya gotta keep your sense of humor...but also have a serious ingrained precise side that's hard to shake even when I'm retired...but being a machinist is the best job, ever...when you're retired with machine tools to play with, and ideas to try.

Dear Karen,
I thank you for the photo of the potential issue. I would really love to tell you everything will be okay but feel it necessary instead to tell you that without proper hands-on analysis I would just be guessing. Please PM and I will supply you my shipping address. You can ship the barrel to me for detailed analytical analysis and, after approximately 2,000 rounds, I should be able to provide you with complete data to support my findings.
Thank You.

I dont really care what the technical terms are, not my job, Im happy to pay someone to do it. I'm sure someone enjoyed the lecture though. We can compare professions over PM if you wish, but I assure you, yours isn't in the same ballpark as far as 'technical' goes. That said, I'd never jump on an internet forum and try to lecture someone asking a simple question about not using the correct/learned technical terms of my profession. But you do you, glad you got that off your chest.

I think the first four words would have had it covered......

I'll remember that next time I spin a barrel onto my gun.
 
Very descriptive, and precise..(sarcastic).and seriously why we don't always get what we want, from services and manufacturers or in conversations with others.
Example: "I spin a barrel onto my gun."
Will you now have a double barrel? Using a spinning wheel or spinning Jenny, & common cotton thread for your spinning endeavor?
Gun?... Paint gun? staple gun?, or water gun? "This is my rifle, this is my gun", comes to mind.

Not sure about the Karen part but IMO, it's not acceptable IF it came from the company this way. Yes, it'll get cut off for threading and chambering but it still isn't acceptable getting it in this condition. It won't effect one thing so probably not worthy of a complaint. All this said, like another Poster stated, get it finished and mounted and go forward. You need to be a female to be a "Karen" and you definitely aren't pushing an entitlement theme simply wondering if your barrel was shipped to you in an acceptable condition. It's a reasonable question. Probably wouldn't hurt to send a photo to the company and let them know how it arrived. Maybe they'll make it right and offer a discount off future in stock barrels.
