if it comes out to $4900 like was said above and that includes a 20 year no condition warranty that's a great deal for a rifle used in some of the harshest conditions!
a rifle used in that manner for that long will probably see a few barrels at least. at $1000 a pop it really puts the price right where it should be. |
Thank you. I am feeling like a bit of a broken record trying to explain how we maintain weapons in the military. I guess some people just can't take in the concepts we are doing here. I think it would be more of a insult to the Canadian tax payer if we did not have a life cycle plan and viewed them as disposable. The cost would be well over $6500 if we replaced them every time they got damaged.
Having parts, and a repair process is critical to keeping the rifle in service for 30 years.
