Parts- As A Condition

10-96 · March 24, 2008, 08:38 PM

How many times have ya'll heard someone say something to the tune of: "If I buy this rifle, pistol, shotgun, will there be plenty of parts available for it?" Granted, things do break and wear out, but I wonder how many of those folks really deeply ponder just which parts they suspect will break or fall apart within the 200 to 1000 rounds- or if maybe it just seems like a good thing to say at the time. Now that I sits here and thinks on it- I remember saying the same thing, but it's been years since I've used that wonderment as a decisive factor in buying any new or used firearm.
