I just bought a new 209x50 stainless barrel. Took it out of the box, did not attach to frame. On the breech end there is a very small dent on the edge of the barrel as if it was hit against something. It is probably only a cosmetic thing but at $250 for the barrel it kind of gets under my skin. Think I should just keep it or call TC and complain and ship it back for a new barrel or repair.
