MIM parts are actually much more consistent in dimensions.
In the mass-production world, lots of hand-fitting means poor manufacturing tolerances, or prices you wouldn't pay.
That's no excuse for canted barrels, but more than a few stinkers left the factory pre-MIM & pre-1980.
Does it seem odd to anyone else that the quality problems began right when the internet became available to the masses?
