CZ can choose to sweep the issue under the rug and reference a "successful" video like MAC's, or they can acknowledge that there is a small percentage of issues and fix it quietly and successfully. I'm hoping its the latter.
While I'm all for any company voluntarily fixing issues with any of their manufactured products, the obvious first thing to do is identify if there is an "issue". Just because 5 or 6 very vocal people complain loudly doesn't constitute an "issue". Especially if those 5 or 6 are from a total population numbering in the thousands.
There is no evidence so far of a single point of failure. If there is no single point "issue", then how can it be "fixed" ? And if it can't be "fixed", where then is the "sweeping the issue under the rug" ?
Everyone must admit that it could just as easily boil down to users purchasing an array of shoddy ammo. How can CZ be held responsible because users are purchasing the cheapest, crap ammo they can find ?
So although the level of rhetoric on this subject has already reached the level of "trial by Oprah" and CZ has already been pronounced guilty, we are far from that point. Oprah, Dr Phil, et al need to turn down the rhetoric. As it stands, some comments are no better than BLM accusing people they've never seen before of being "racist". Let's not sink that low.
Not a single person here has decried that CZ is guilty.
Not a single person here is saying that CZ is sweeping the issue under the rug.
Its often the vocal minority that point out potential flaws in products.
Its often the user base in this current world that finds flaws in products. There are tons of people that ascribe to the philosophy of "never buy first generation products". While the Bren 2 is not a first generation product, it could be argued that the MS, for the American market is.
If no one ever shoots their stuff and talks about it and proffers data points, how do we ever hope to improve anything?
The "cheap" ammo thing is a tired argument. Yes, ammo is a part of the system. Yes, some ammo is trash, ala winchester USA Forged. I expect my commercial grade guns to be able to run commercial grade ammo. My particular sample wont even run mil surplus ammo so once again, the argument of "cheap" ammo being the culprit is not fair.
I cant recall a post on this forum in regards to the Bren 2 thus far that has had an overly negative tone. No one here has busted out the pitch forks or the torches and has condemned CZ to the point where their name is Mud. Given their excellent track record for excellent products, most people here are assuming that the people having issues (myself included) will be taken care of.
Personally, I'm not going to come onto a forum and lie for the sake of protecting the fragile hearts of CZ fans. My gun went back with issues, it came back with issues and CZ fluffed me off. I'm not condemning them because as i've said on other forums, CZ may not really know what's going on right now. I work for a huge bureaucracy. Getting anything done is like pulling teeth from a chicken regardless of how badly the men and women on the ground need change affected. I can only imagine what its like at CZ and it will probably take a bit to get the engine spooled up to the point where they either identify an endemic issue, or an isolated issue with a certain batch of guns. I'm willing to wait to a point and see how this pans out. Or, ill move on, no big deal. I know that myself and others are not shy about reporting our experiences.
