Yes but there are definitely examples of guns that use too much plastic in the wrong places and perhaps not the best quality of plastics. For example the Keltec SU16 platform; the plastic piece that holds the upper receiver to the lower receiver has a tendency of breaking due to the impact of the bolt flying back and hitting that area. When that happens the gun is rendered inoperable and the poor sucker who bought that rifle new has to go through the tedious and drawn out process of sending it back for Keltec warranty work unless they bought the gun used off the CGN EE, in which case they are S.O.L. i just hope Remington doesn't go full Keltec after this.
