There never was and never will be custom quality out of factory made guns. You want custom quality, you have to jump through the hoops and reach deeper into your pockets. Even though our machines for building and producing have gotten better the mind set of the people making those factory firearms are not of the same standards as our old timers were in building them. The American pride just isn't there anymore and you darn sure aren't going to get it with bean counters. Hate to say this but we brought this onto ourselves. And it just isn't Remington either.
