Now, that figure doesn't even take into account multiple gun purchases at one time. and doesn't take into account private or gunshow purchases...which typically aren't always new stock anyhow....but the point remains.

I'm just wondering if all the makers are running around with the heads cut off trying to fill orders and contracts and sales at the expense of letting less than perfect guns get out the door. It seems they are more concentrated on getting guns out and letting the consumer send fixes back in than simply taking extra time and control to catch them before they leave....what you think??
