    If you want a rifle to shoot well, lapping the barrel is probably a good idea - because you'll fuck it, and it will need replacing.

    Wowzers, that's a lot of $!

    Gotta find a way to cut that margin tighter....

    Wonder how much the unnecessary trigger recall cost? 10 million USD?

    That last may have cost us the Rem 700 as well.
