I have a question for everyone who owns, especially those who recently acquired their nemesis.
I was inspecting my kalafan edition yesterday and as per my OCD nature, when it comes to little details, I found a few things that lead me to a little bit of a panic attack. Thus, I need opinions and experience of those who are in possession of their nemesis. Prior to describing and demonstrating my "issue" I'd like to point out that I will not disclose the vendor before being 100% sure there is an actual problem.
So, once I disassembled the mod I noticed there were a few scuffs, couple of scratches and some 'gunk' build up, not massively so but never the less, to make it easier I took pictures to describe these things.
Also, just for my piece of mind, any kalafan owners can confirm that my mod is actually authentic, at least as authentic as their own looks?
First up, the firing pin:
- build ups of gunk and what seems like a bit of corrosion? is that normal for the new mod to have?
Next up, threading on the firing button:
- Threads are slightly messy and it does cause a little bit of an issue when trying to thread it into the tube
Inside of the firing button, has a very nasty and obvious darkness, that seems to be from fair amount of twisting it and hence the spring friction on the surface
close up
Firing cap, has a scratch
Top cap, again issue here is that it seems that a few attys were threaded in
close ups
Lastly, the tubes, although no scratches or issues with threading been noticed here, i did notice that the kick ring and the firing button locking ring seem to be 1mm smaller, in diameter, compared tot he rest of the tubes, is that normal?
General remarks, there is some gunk in the threads which seem to be of concern.
I haven't fired it yet, prior to investigating all the above little issues.
In conclusion, if anyone can tell me about theirs and if they experienced similar issues, the idea here is to find out if the mod is used rather than new, if it's a cone or orig., if it's defected from factory or anything else you lot may say. So that I can collect all that and take it to the vendor, in the event those really are legitimate issues. Once, I collect enough information I will make sure to post the name of the vendor for whatever the outcome of it is.
Thank you in advance for any help!
