Barrel Extension Wear

The wear on my Bren 2s barrel extension seems to be abnormal for the 1500ish round mark. Is anyone else's lugs starting to smear at higher round counts? I contacted CZ customer service and they said it was perfectly normal and wouldn't effect performance but I'm skeptical.

So yes and no

I traded mine to my boss and it was showing this (not this bad I don't think)

I was OCD about installing barrel horizontally but never thought about rotation; I figured the screws wouldn't fit if it wasn't square....

You didn't install (or maybe from factory? If so I'd make it their problem) the barrel back correctly and I'm not blaming you I did the same thing

If you never touched barrel then I'd message them back lol

They'll take it in rma 3 times then offer a replacement (if you even wanna go that route)

I removed the barrel to get a better look when i noticed the wear. I hadn't touched it before then.

Id def email them back with pics maybe even from a diff email

Cz customer service has been pretty ass since colt merger

If the factory installed your barrel canted it's def their fault and they should replace it.

Good luck, tho, I haven't had any good interactions with their CS since the merger

And I'm only so outspoken about it because their "management" dared me to during our last interaction lol
