Hi,
Here's another story and does not involve US Arms manufacture but does relate I think...
I have a, friend that has Gunsmithed for 40 years, and although not a specialist on anyone thing, he is more like an MD, working on everything, that comes through the door, and does good work.
We were talking one day years ago, about quality, and he brought up a point about Browning A5 Shotguns, the old "humpback" model, thats been around forever.
He said when production left Belgium and went to Japan, the Old Timers, got on their hind legs and howled at the moon, that was the end off the good A5's, ect.,ect...
As he had worked on these all his life, he was familar, and when he first saw a Japanese A5, he said he did some comparision on the parts and said the Japanese were closer to spec than the old Belgiums!!!
Just sayin, maybe there is always room for improvement?
