I wouldnt beat yourself up over it, many of us have bought a lemon or two in the past, and I wouldnt let it stop you from buying Milsurp rifles in the future, at least you have made a good move and joined the ranks of Milsurps, some of worlds top collectors and probably the bigest pool of knowledge there is on the subject of Milsurp rifles is on this site.
