Yep, they figured out that if you make a quality rifle folk will have no reason to buy another. Now they make as many models as possible (more than any other manufacturer), engineered as poorly as possible, then regularly bring out a "new" version of each model (Mk1, Mk2, Mk3 blah blah). So you have a current version of a model & you realize it has flaws, but hey you can't wait to sell it in order to buy the "new improved" version. Hey as long as folk fall for it & they sell lotsa their junk rifles, good for them.

And then a “YT influencer” will go tour the factory and you’ll be convinced that it’s the best rifle money can buy.

Not a word form me, which i will gladly admit have a problem getting a tap strait onto / into whatever just using hand tools.
Also a hack saw, ill be damned if i ever made 1 strait cut with one of those, always had to saw wayyyyy off the line and then file the rest.

When I was still working, I made some of these for a lot of fellow machinist. Most of the stuff we worked on was tapped right after you drilled the hole but sometimes we tapped out of the machine for whatever reason.
You just hold the block down and carefully start tapping.
Sometimes we did installs where we used an electric hand drill to drill a hole to be tapped. We would clamp the block in place if possible or carefully hold it and carefully drill and then tap.
The blocks I made had a hole the same size as the tap drill and also a hole that allowed the tap to spin freely (couple thousandths clearance). The largest tap my blocks generally accommodated was 1/4-20 & 1/4-28.
Link is for an inexpensive commercial guide but only guides the tap, not the tap drill. It’s also made of Delrin. I typically used aluminum or steel.
