That's part of the reason I started this thread. Our work firearms are viewed by management as "indestructible" and there has been little support in past to spend money on them. Funny how a chainsaw will be replaced when worn significantly, but a firearms - not so much.
The good news is I believe I have approval to replace our old Remingtons. I brought up the reliability issue and emphasized that sometimes we only get one opportunity that may last only a few seconds to make a critical close-range shot on a dangerous animal and a misfeed can be serious.
