Sold a blem as new - Aero Precision Enhanced Carbine Buffer Tube

I ordered this buffer tube as part of a 6mm ARC build. Unfortunately, the Buffer Tube had been damaged prior to being anodized. The damage is obvious and deep and is visible even with the stock in place. The Kodiak Brown Anodizing was beautifully done but is ruined by the damage. If this were sold as a "Blem" I would expect something like this; visible damage that does not affect function nor reliability. What a shame.
