I do not feel that the role of a customer should be what the computer jocks call a 'beta test site.' My firm did that some years ago for two computer companies, who gave us the hardware to test, fixed problems on site, and let us keep it if we liked it. Thank you, but paying 12K plus for the privilege of helping someone work out a few bugs (and failure to do the bluing right or not send out a rifle with marks on it is not a development issue, it is pure neglect) is not my way to run a high end product line. As I said before, if they want to have the niche as the only 'made in America double' shop, then they should clean up their act, not trade on their customer's sense of loyalty to country as an excuse for sloppy and indifferent work. Remember what Samuel Johnson said about the last refuge of a scoundrel.

It was from the above comment that I inferred you were calling Butch a scoundrel, not the comments about the General. I really don't see how it could be taken any other way but if that was not your intent then so be it.

I agree with you that many of the reported problems could be solved by someone spending time looking over each rifle before it goes out. Hopefully something like that is in the works or already has been implemented and his QC problems will be a thing of the past. Until then we will have to just agree to disagree.
