Just got my 550 American safari and see that the original factory barrel is marked 458 Winchester Magnum.

I'd think or hope that you could note the X's on the paperwork to avoid a prob

What paper work? A gun doesn't come with a builders certificate of origin. You get a test target and a bill (probably handwritten) from the dealer. Why do I only see a problem with this at customs and if your checking in at RSA airport with the police there.

I'm still sorry but if I got it from the dealer that way even after waiting a year it's going back.
I see it like ordering a Lincoln Navigator and having the dealer drive up with a Ford Expedition with duct tape over the name plates and the new name plates glued over them.

When I buy new, pay for new, I expect new not some Rube Goldberg rendition of new.
