[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1479703, member: 12995"] What tech is missing from the large-scale manufacturing rifle and firearms industries? 5R rifling, factory lapped barrels, triggers that lawyers can't dictate how they operate, sub-MOA guarantees, more precision milling and lathe work on factory actions, better chambers in factory barrels, more efficient ways to implement these facets into the company at a way to reduce the overall cost of a rifle, or as to not raise the already inflated cost of factory rifles. Most importantly, the one thing that needs revamping and is completely missing in today's large-scale weapons manufacturing is PRIDE! Pride for your company and pride in the products you sell. Pride goes away when you let a board of directors dictate a companies every move, because all they give a crap about is profits. And they're too stupid and stubborn to see that if they upgrade their equipment and processes, they will sell more guns from putting a superiors product than they were before staying stagnant and pushing crap out the door. You might be wondering how I know this is an issue... Well, this can be seen in how poor most of these companies are doing on their quality control standards, and the garbage they're letting slip out the door everyday. The American gun industry, like most all of our industries, have been sold out to lazy greedy people who only care about money, instead of taking pride in their products, and respect for the people who choose to spend their hard-earned money on them.
