I do believe they've addressed a couple of issues. I've ton a few apart to look. All the bottom tabs on the mag boxes are shiny. They used to be blued like the rest of the mag box. That tells me they've ground them down a little. The front action screw appears to be a little shorter as well.

I don't know exactly what they've done, but I do think QC has been improved. I truly believe they're focusing on consistency.


I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
