I have an idea.
Well said, fnfalman. I don’t get it either.
Your distaste for American made SIGs is well known, not being confrontational here as I have no SIGs and no "dog in the hunt", just asking a question.
That's a good question!
Definitely the case with Remington and Marlin. I'd personally eliminate the S&W revolvers. I think that's the "older is better crowd" giving them bad scores. The new stuff doesn't have the hand finishing of old (way too expensive for that now days) but most, particularly the new big bores like the 460 & 500 Mags are made with superior metallurgy and to tighter tolerances than seen in the past. MIM parts greatly reduce the amount of hand fitting as well as providing greater consistency.
Bad management putting profit before quality control.
That would certainly be sufficient to put product quality in the toilet. Lower the quality, keep the prices the same. Don
Lower the quality, raise the price.
Sig does a pretty good job with their metal handguns, even though being much larger is hurting their QC a bit.
Dirty chamber. Extractor claw/extractor spring kaput.
First off, you along with everyone else on the net, needs to STOP using the term FTE. That could mean a failure to eject or a failure to extract. In your second post, you clarified it by saying Extract, but I'm not even sure if you know the difference at this point.
For years I owned a NY compliant SIG 556 SCM...it ran like a raped ape and was 100% problem free, with not one single failure to feed or extract, ever. It had a better factory trigger than any of the 12 AR 15's I owned, and quick accurate successive shots were easily attainable thanks to the added front weight of it's gas piston apparati.
Except that some manufacturers have more issues and problems with their sold firearms than others.
