To be honest, I think the article is, overall, a good one.

I am always a bit confused by fellows I meet from time to time who have what they think is a real killer but mollycoddle the thing and act as if a vigorous working of the bolt will wreck it. I'm not going to say that I beat up my guns, but I sure don't care if they get worn and I do shove them around a bit as soon as I buy them, making sure they feed reliably and function as they should. That means hard functioning with the ammo intended to be used. Many is the time I've found rifles that feed well with pristine ammo but as soon as the cases get scuffed from repeatedly being worked from the magazine the critter chokes.

I have to agree with the general tone of the article which as I read it is that many factory rifles aren't suitable for much as they get spewed out of the factory. Almost every rifle and pistol I buy needs work. The Rugers I've latched on to have been overall the most reliable factory guns I have bought, but even they need various things done to them to make them what they should be. They are cheap, though Ruger has just taken a fairly hefty price hike and from what I'm told more is to come.
