I actually disagree with this.
Either can be better than the other. I make a lot of stuff by hand, for example (yeah, I sew--weird, huh? Everything I sew is camo, though). Some of the stuff I make is stronger, more durable, and longer lasting than factory equivalents. Others of it is not. It depends on the product. The factory items have had literally thousands of iterations to see flaws and work them out.
I've got a buddy with a full machine shop, including a lathe and so forth. He could not build an airsoft gun. Jesse from AONW told me that one company did try to make airsoft guns here in the US. For similar quality (NOT better) to our Chinese ones, they were looking at a $600 unit price.
I see your point. I was talking about stuff like machining and etc.. Like things that are made by professionals, but don't get just mass assembled. Things that a technician puts together and gives a once and twice over to make sure there isn't anything wrong
