Thread: Rifle Obsolesence

Planned obsolesence is all too common in this 'consumable' era. Not only are perfectly good items that have been in production for a couple of years (in China) suddenly phased out in favour of the new 'double cheese' version that offers the ability to sync your (soon to be outdated) phone to your (soon to be outdated) computer so you can send irrelevant personal details to a whole bunch of strangers on (soon to be outdated) social media, but the grasping bastards also stop making spare parts. The good thing about firearms is that they are still mostly made out of metal and will last many years with a bit of kindness. I have a few 100 year plus firearms that are still giving excellent service (and the animals never complain)!
