Just chuck some 0000 steel wool on a cleaning brush and scrub the bore with a liberal amount of oil. It will knock any surface rust out as if it weren't even there anymore. It would be a serious waste of time to send it back. You do not have an issue, these damn things are made in Italy and who knows how long it could have sat in some warehouse or dock. Do what I'm saying and smile, you have a good rifle.
