There is no maybe. I don't know how I can state this any clearer. The vendor in Syracuse hires and fires employees based on demand, and sometimes they have lazy morons running a piece of equipment with 10 minutes of training. There were more than a few instances where the grip caps weren't welded on properly and a change was made to the design to reduce the chance of failure. The vendor tries to get their employees to do as much as possible when they're running the injection molding equipement waiting for the part. They don't want the employee standing idle for 45 minutes every hour so they try to set up workstations where other things are being done such as installing sling swivel studs, screwing on butt pads, welding grip caps etc. Kimber doesn't make the Hunter stocks or fill them with rubber. That's handled entirely by the vendor who ships the stocks to Kimber based on demand. If you got a stock without rubber it was a mistake ... end of story.
