Heritage was a pretty low-bucks operation that produced fair-quality guns- - - -serviceable, but not fancy or collectible. The machinery, as I'm sure you know, is just as good or bad as the folks operating it and the quality control inspectors checking their work. My son-in-law started out at the new Remington plant in Huntsville Alabama as a machine operator, running a deep-hole drill and a CNC Bridgeport mill, and worked his way up to a tool room machinist's position in less than a year. He's light years better than me at programming CNC machinery, but I've still got him edged out at building one-off custom guns from scratch, especially muzzle loaders and super-accurate bolt actions. My son and grandson are both coming along well as custom gun builders and maintenance machinists and welders, plus being pretty good engine builders.
