Don't feel bad, one time a while back I was building a .22 Ruger Rifle and drove two hours to Cabelas and bought a fancy laminated stock, oversized target barrel and a bunch of other stuff spending well over $500 and upon returning home I found the $250 barrel had been shot, was dirty and had been in another gun and then returned and put back in stock as new. I gave very negative feed back on line and shortly received a equally very nice call from the manager who gave me a huge discount/credit on the barrel (wisely I purchased by credit card) and said I could return the barrel if I didn't want it. I went ahead and installed it and it shoots fine with my rifle. The manager couldn't have been nicer. But, you do have to watch them.
