Guess I'd better quit my job then. You see, I'm a gun builder by trade. I spend 40 hours a week fixing machine shop shortcomings {which are too numerous to count} to come up with a perfectly functional, good looking, good shooting firearm. You might even say I get paid to take chicken shyt and turn it into chicken salad. Most of the problems I've seen and heard about with the Remlins were/are the result of untrained/unskilled/inexperienced staff, moreso than worn out machinery.
