About Kits:"NO! Don't throw them out. Mistakes happen. We'll stick all the faulty parts together, box 'em up and sell them at a discount. Let the buyer fix the problems."Kits I have had: CVA Mountain rifle. Knot at the wrist and screw holes either drilled off center or too big for the screw.Dixie Poorboy Rifle: The tang screwhole was cracked and broke the first time I took the barrel out. I loved that rifle.Traditions: Knot at the trigger guard. ..stock came apart with the first shot.Investarms: Lyman Greast Plains .54 flint. Wedge plate holes off center. Gemmer Hawken...offset screw holes and screwholes too big for the screw.Pedersoli: Tryon .50. Not a kit. Sat in the gunshop showcase for a year. John sold it to me his cost. I ...like I always do...took it apart when I got home. The wood INSIDE was spectacular...the outside was not so much. I noticed a whiteish overspray on part of the barrel channel ...hmm...found an unnoticable spot and sanded. The walnut came off...white all over. Sanded some more. The walnut under the white sealer was the best I've ever seen. You know about 'photo finish' on cheap paneling? I think that was done to the Tryon.If it was 'good enough' to make a rifle that's what would happen. If it was going to need a fix...it's a kit.Every minute someone has to spend to fix a mistake is money over and above cost. Some of the fixes were simple...some took hours.
