Lol horrible analogy - lots of people drive lots of cars off dealerships with well documented problems. And many of them don't fix the things because dealerships charge an arm and a leg, and the parts are so horribly expensive they just limp through it anyway. That's way off track though.
... So if the dealership tells you there was a QC issue with your car (engine, transmission, whatever that's major part of), you would sign and accept the car to drive it, and conclude it's a ####ty car when you were very well notified of the issue and it's not the intended spec/quality of it?
You could just decline and get your money back OR
wait until the part gets replaced. Then you can determine if the car is #### since the car is released by the factory's QC and spec.
They caught the defect, or out of spec, or whatever you want to call it and notified it advising not to fire it. If this was any other AR-180, chances are they would have let it go and hide it until somebody who knows one or two about AR bolt raises warranty issue.
Name a company who actually listened to us about what we wanted before they released a rifle or torture testing 2500~? rnds to each of 25 pre production rifles.
Oh yeah, and it's PRE production rifle. So the analogy SmackSB4 or I gave also isn't really accurate since It's not even released product. I'm sure you guys would know, they do testing batch(es) for low rate production to work out the production line before going high rate, mass production because you just don't know how things turn out until you actually start getting it out on the line. Again... they did caught the QC issue and Bartok has been notified. It's exactly how it should go. You know... like how prototypes are?
I've seen the Mk3 in person, handled it and seen the internals. Did I fire it? No, but I can tell the quality of visible parts is very close to what I had when I did some time in the Army(not that it means anything). But, I am staying neutral as I didn't get to see how the reliability and accuracy is, which is a rifle's ultimate deciding factor of value. Chances are, it probably is not going to be surpassing H&K, FN, BCM, KAC quality. It's the old $800, new ~$2000 MSRP. For a self loading rifle, that's the price for mid-low rifle. I still think it'll be closer to PSA quality, and I'd like to have Canadian PSA who tries to work things out under our current political climate and who communicates with us, not like some company who doesn't even answer calls or e-mails and go dark.
Negative attention or criticism is still a good thing but damn, isn't it getting a little petty? It's not even released or shot any rounds yet and it looks like people just WANT IT to be a piece of junk. Have some faith or patience you miserable people.
Screw this. I'm going hunting lol.
