    It doesn't appear to affect anything but I don't like it

    Never used the system, but it's getting closer to "scary" than I'd like to go.

    Why not just take the high point off the plunger with a file or some sandpaper?
    May save a few hassles with time on a replacement etc.

    Hacksaw is the forum "go to" tool.

    In my experience, hacksaw first, tears and swearing later.

    Bubba loves his hacksaw, which is why bubba ain't allowed no hacksaw...

    Not far off an unexpected bang Id say, which will moisten your undies
    File down the plunger and wear some ear muffs - oh, and a pair of those "piss-yaself" nappies

    yes he could file it flat.....BUT he has paid for a product to use...no way in hell should he need to attack it with a file to make it safe...the very least the manufacturer should do is send new one ASAP with courier bag to send old one back....a reloaders supply voucher would be a nice touch too..... at end of day its all about good public relations.

    must have been a Friday afternoon job I reckon . Back to the press for priming for a bit I feel

    It would literally take minutes to fix with a needle file and some sandpaper.
    It will be as good as new.
    It is a machine mark from I would suggest a parting tool.

    It could take weeks to get any results from suppliers or manufacturers over a machine mark.

    I would notify the dealer of the fault as a whole heap could have the same issue and fix it myself. Probably still get a replacement anyway without demanding customer satisfaction over a simplistic fix.
    Hope the OP doesn't get mucked around.
