The current demand, for various reasons, is very high, and gun makers are trying to turn out as many guns as possible. It is sad but true that in the process quality control, even by companies who had excelled in that department, has slipped. As anyone who has ever worked at any job knows, doubling the workload means a lapse in quality.
The easy answer would be to expand the factory and hire more people, but good business practice is against that when the demand may recede at any time, leaving the company stuck with machinery and people it can no longer afford to retain.
