Agreed, I wouldn't have accepted transfer on that. Normally, I find that a lot of buyers who complain about fit/finish have set their expectations a little too high, but there are too many problems on this one.

--The turn line looks very pronounced.
--The polish job on the barrel is abysmal/unfinished.
--The rear sight is garbage.

The swirl marks aren't ideal, but not a killer. I doubt they'd fix the turn line, but the barrel and the rear sight are unacceptable and clearly aren't the result of after-the-factory wear.

I don't know a bunch about how Smith does the printing on these new revolvers--never had one--but I do know that some methods can't be polished without removing or wearing the print.
