After a fun day of finding small quality control errors, I thought it might be nice to hear from other people about little unexpected issues in manufacturing or lack of attention to detail that gets delivered to the end user. Please post any you’ve had in this thread and what subsequently happened.
This isn’t meant to be a bash a company thread- errors occur in every business, its more just a way to laugh about some of the small things that get in the way of a smooth process.
I’ll start.
Ordered 3 Sig Virtus Upper kits from SWFA, in all three of them the AR15 buffer tube adapter was missing the set screw. SWFA is going to call Sig and see about getting the screws.
Ordered 2 Virtus barrel caliber change kits direct from Sig. Each included a bolt, one bolt has an out of spec cam pin hole, wont fit MCX or Virtus cam pins (they are different between generations); other one is perfect. Sig is sending a new bolt.
Odinworks 6.5 Grendel upper arrived, recommended by the forum here. They included a “test fired” cartridge with the patches, Allen wrenches, etc. -it’s a spent .223 Remington case. No follow up was needed except a good chuckle.
