The new 700 are made in your neighborhood.
Huntsville. Whats the status since the bankruptcy?
Kimber is now in Troy, which is about 30 miles from home.
Hear they were gearing up to start production again. Being in the manufacturing business myself, I can understand fully how companies quality goes to shiit. Substandard raw materials, cost cutting, very little training, not reinvesting in machinery, labor reductions, no succession planning, leadership with with no manufacturing experience, bean counters at the helm only caring about their next position, etc.
Bottom line is the 700 is a great design. Perfect? Is there such a thing? Perfect only exists to people who get comfortable and lazy.
Bottom line.....management.... ALWAYS FUUCKS THINGS UP.
