I have never heard of fit and finish causing a failure. Fit and finish is describing the aesthetics', not the function. Does the wood stock seamlessly tie into the metal. Is the machining on the exterior straight. Are there tool marks.
Fit and finish is more than aesthetics, which is why they describe it as FIT and finish. Fit describes how the various parts interact with each other. The TFBTV video indicated that the stock did not fit tightly with the receiver. Apparently a roll pin worked its way loose and they did not stop to fix it so there was a mechanical failure after 400 straight rounds of firing.
