I was wondering if someone else has had this problem with their VZ58 ??

I just bought a new VZ-58 from  TGI International a few weeks ago

I was able to go to the range last week and the rifle functioned flawlessly, was accurate and was perfect in all sense with the 60 rounds I put through it.
 I was surprised at the accuracy as compared to my other AKs


 However, when I came home and opened it up to clean. I noticed that the inner rails that the bolt travels on, had two points on both sides of the rail that looked like something had dug into it resulting in peening.  I was horrified at that kind of damage to the rail with less than 60 rounds through the rifle.

I do not think it is normal for this to happen(with just 60 rounds through the rifle) and wanted to check with you before I called czech-point.

here are the pictures








I am very disappointed with this issue and hoping Czechpoint will resolve it
