So very very true. I've been accused of "having to $^#& with everything" when it comes to my guns, but it seems that almost everything I've bought that was made in the past 50 years has needed work in order to be functional. As much as it pains me to say it, I have yet to see a Glock or S&W M&P handgun that didn't come out of the box ready to go to work. Sure, a little tuning or some aftermarket parts can make them a little better, but that is optional. Why can't they ALL be that way? It bugs me that a new-production rifle has to be torn down, have the grit and metal chips washed out, and put back together with threadlocker, grease, and oil and have the bore brushed and polished before the first shot.
