There have been many Fubars in the long history of WRA- the one at the top of the list, IMO- was Bennett's refusal to pay John M. Browning a royalty on the sale of every M1903 recoil operated semi-auto shotgun-

That rebuff took John M. to Remington-UMC, while he was waiting to see Marcellus H. Dodge, the Remington "Head Fred", he died of a sudden heart attack- and John M. took a boat to FN in Liege. All the $ WRA lost on defective Model 11's (aka- the widow maker) and later on, the Model 40, would have been added to the profit factor of WRA had Bennett not tried to play "hard ball" with John Browning.
