Nope, looked like the original barrel. The witness mark lines up perfectly.

The front & rear of the magazine well didn't show any evidence of damage.

The seller has received the gun and already sent my money back, but I still have some detail pictures. If you guys are really interested, I could post some additional detail shots if any of you really wanted to try and figure out what went wrong....just let me know.

Ron, Since you had such a great experience with this seller, I ...and I am sure many others... would like to know who he is so we can add him to our "will do business with list"

Sure thing......he goes by "conductor" on GunBroker. Really genuine "good" guy.
