A lot people forget USRACo went bankrupt in 1988 and FN came to the rescue. I will keep saying but my bud BSA is hard headed and refuses to acknowledge shady American craftsmanship brought the end of American made model 70's. if the source of stocks for the model 70's QC wasn't so horrible maybe production wouldn't of went to Portugal. The plant they are being put together at now is the source of all of browning grade 5 stocks for there high end shotguns. Winchester now can control the QC in-house unlike the outsourced stocks they were getting from good ol hard working American [bleep] [bleep] up. At one point Winchester was sending more stocks back to there vendor due to QC issues.
