I mean. At least it's just the laser engravings... How they managed to run it through twice is baffling though.

However, it's the engraving that's done after the milling. Everything should be to the same specs still. If the holes were cut like that as well then the concern would be there.

In theory with how billet lowers are made, shouldn't they be difficult to screw up? I mean they use CNC for billet right?

Exactly my point. Therefore, if the lower parts all fit and function properly, and if the upper attaches properly, then there's nothing wrong with it except cosmetic.

And in reality, it was probably sold as a blemished lower in the first place, as they do regularly for parts that had weird shit like that happen.

But then it's an issue when you don't have it fixed. It's a lose-lose imo. But useful back when they had bolt action or semi autos that jammed every other shot in a mostly trench warfare style of fighting.

Also open tip match. The main reason being that 75-77 grain 5.56 bullets fragment incredibly well even at low velocity. They're devastating

If I can't find any, you think hollow or fmj 55grain would work better?

Most stores only carry cheap 55gr plinking ammo and green tip. I'd probably suggest buying either online or at a local business if you can. A lot of online ammo stores have free shipping on the first purchase.

In that case I'd say save up for a large amount of ammo, drive to the nearest free state, and stock up there
