Some guns are made better than others.
The ones that were designed and made well will last for decades with regular use and maintenance.
The Avid Outdoorsman posted a list of rifles and pistols that will last longer than expected.
They begin it with:
A gun does not have to be babied to last. Some firearms get bought as beaters, loaners, truck guns, camp guns, or budget picks, and nobody expects much from them at first. Then they keep working season after season, long after the finish wears thin and the owner stops treating them gently.
That is when a gun starts earning a different kind of respect. Not because it was expensive. Not because it had the loudest reputation. But because it kept feeding, firing, grouping, and holding together after years of use. These are the guns that often last longer than people expected when they first brought them home.
