I thought I'd run this by the collective. My new 327 TRR8 has a flame shield that is off on one side of the cut out. It's closer to the cylinder than the other side. Close enough to concern me that a 2nd line one the cylinder may develop. Anyone else seen this before? Going to the range tomorrow and thought I'd ask before going. I hate to think I'd have to send it back for this. Am I just overreacting?
Edit to add. The first picture has a small speck on the cylinder that lines up to the area in question. Matter of fact the three test fired cylinders have the same speck. None of the others show this. I'm very upset at this point. What is it going to look like in 100 rounds? or a 1000? I'm just sitting here shaking my head. The speck is loss of finish. It's making contact. It's not lead, powder or anything else.
