So today my father in law asked to meet me at Cabelas for lunch. I thought why not, the wife is out of town and I might find a steal. When I get there he walks me over to the gun counter and tells me he bought me an early fathers day gift.
Marlin 336W in 30/30, the very gun I was saving up for. I was blown away and very excited at the same time. So I filled out all the paperwork and walked out of the store with my first rifle.
When I got home there was time for a quick look at the gun before kids, dinner, baths, and bedtime. However, once all that was done I got to sit down with my new rifle. Here is where the problems start... The first thing I did was take the scope off and install the hammer extension. I planned on sighting in with the iron sights. When I looked down the barrel something didn't seem right, the sights felt off. Thinking I was nuts because it was a brand new rifle I started looking harder. It looks to me as if the barrel and magazine are out of alignment. However I am not sure if it is the barrel or magazine. (pics below and the gun is unloaded, didn't even get to buy any ammo yet.)
So do I take this back to Cabelas tomorrow, do I need to find a gunsmith to ask, or do I contact Marlin themselves?
