Is it not built well?

The most significant issue without even firing the rifle is that the charging handle gets wedged under the handguard when you pull back and release it. This issue requires the shooter to mortar the rifle to remedy the problem, but it'll happen again the next time you charge the rifle.

Not to even mention the Picatinny and M-LOK rails are out of spec, the misaligned handguard cross bolts are forced through the barrel nut, no thread locker used, gas key isn't staked, gas valve spring pin is inappropriately sized and falls out, fit and finish is poor, etc.

Quality is on-par with Kodiak Defense. And this rifle is likely manufactured before the Canadian market ordered a ton which Brigade Mfg. QC will drop to meet the demand.

Modern machining is done by computer numerical control. Should be perfect every single time. How the fuck do they manage to screw that up?

Are they not taking the 5 seconds you need to tighten the clamps on the bar stock so the machining processes complete correctly? Are they maintaining their cutting tools on the proper schedule? Are they too illiterate to enter the correct numbers into their computers? (If that's the case, how did they even manage to design the rifle in the first place?) It's not like these things needs to be reverse-engineered; these are basically open specifications.

One wonders how the workers who are churning this crap out manage to even find their place of employment every day.
