Sorry, my reply was a bit strong but you didn't upset me.

Is it the fact that they're American made or is it truly quality issues?

Personally, what got me was they were promoting a DR (and Bolt guns and SHotguns) using a name where the quality of what was shown was not up to scratch - I bought a Merkel about the same time as they took over and I think my gun had better finish (wood to metal) than what was shown n the photos. I think they rushed it.

As to American made - I don't have a problem with US made anything - in fact in my business I buy (and prefer to buy) US made rather than Asia made and do so every month.

I do however not agree with the "if it's not mde in the US it's no good" syndrome.
