I believe that things are going to line themselves out. From what i've been reading Remington is really trying to improve both production quality and CS in any of the new branches they have aquired... i.e. Bushmaster, DPMS ect... I think they will take the same approach w/ NEF/H&R... given the appropriate amount of time. I think that the people on here that are posting their findings on what is coming out of Ilion, are doing a good thing, but that being said, while we need to let everyone know what is going on w/ production and CS on this forum, Remington is the ones who truley need to hear our gripes and complaints. We can B*&$h and moan all we want to on here about Remington, but if they don't know what were griping about then how can they fix it?
