Post cutting brass?

My new 700 VTR 223 (no I have not gotten to fire it yet) is cutting grooves in the brass as I cycle rounds through it. I would venture to say that the grooves are deep enough to be an issue for reloading. It appears that the edges of the mag well are just about sharp enough to cut free hanging silk. Should I send the gun to remmington and have them fix it or should I just touch it up with a fine file myself?

Opinions?

Also has anybody else ever experienced this?

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
