No doubts that the carrier looks awful, is unacceptable from a QC-standpoint, and could easily be contributing to the OP's function woes with this particular rifle. HOWEVER, you didn't start by criticizing the part in question, but rather by attacking the business itself who sold it to the OP for what you deem to be a poor choice of names for the business (no need to repeat the exact words which are pretty pathetic and wholly unwarranted). Then you admitted you have zero experience with the company and had never even heard of them before your post. That, sir...IS IGNORANT...insofar as the attack on the company itself is concerned!
I assure you, JoeBobs did NOT make the part, but merely sold it, as is the case with MANY "re-branded" AR parts across the industry. Any number of highly reputable companies, even some with names you may not find so offensive to your delicate sensibilities, can have bad days with sending out sub-standard parts with their name on them that didn't get caught in the QC process (even BCM whom you recommended to the OP as a suitable replacement for a BCG has put out more than a few lemons in their time, including but not limited to their barrels). However, like any reputable business, they step up and take care of their customers, handling mistakes as they damn well should, which is why I, and many others, continue to do business with them to this day.
Nobody would have said anything about an open criticism of the part in question which is clearly not up to par, but instead, you attacked the business who sold it. Having dealt with JoeBobs on countless occasions in the past, receiving nothing but the highest levels of communication and service from them, I would almost guarantee that this issue will be made right for the OP. If they don't make it right, whether by refund, credit or replacement of the part in question, then you may have reason to launch an all out attack, even if it is based on some deep and illogical hatred of their name alone which so offends you!
But until then, let's keep focus on the part and how the company in question will deal with this issue and not go full "retard" (your parlance...not mine) on the company who merely sold it.
