The performance center 686? Yeah, it's pretty ugly. It's like tearing up a brand new Shelby Cobra and putting spinners, a spoiler and hydraulics into it

Good: Browning; for every single thing they have ever done
Good: FN, same as Browning
Good: S&W, for not taking advantage of their customers by not making everything way more expensive than it should be
Good: Colt, for all of their revolvers
Bad: Colt, for discontinuing the Python

Browning is part of FN, Id just say FN as a whole is a excellent company. Fn is the only company I know who puts 3 mags in with a new gun.

How about Remington putting cheap barrels on the Etronix rifles when the advantages of electronic priming apply mainly to match shooters?

Or Winchester going to push feed on the post-64 Model 70s?

Ive heard the push feed rifles were actually more accurate. FN fixed it though, apparently the new controlled feed fn model 70s are better than all previous winchester model 70s.

BTW, earlier I got a new Luger. I hate the thing. I can't find a .45 round it will feed consistently. The grip was also old so i threw them out and added some hogues. Theres also a tacky looking eagle on the reciever i had to grind off.

Okay, Bad by FN:

Love FN, but they neutered the civilan fs2000. The internals are plastic. Ive seen airsoft guns that look more robust. Not acceptable in a 2000 dollar gun.
