    Yes it has, and it will be again. Things change, manufacturers change the way they do things, change warranty periods, etc.

    All someone has to do to get the chart changed is follow the rules at the top of the first post.

    Or they can stand around, stomp their feet, and cry like a little girl and wish that it would change (or wish that they actually knew what they were talking about).

    I'll give you one guess as to which way will get a faster response.

    If a lifetime warrantee is important to you, buy an OLYMPIC ARMS.

    Nevermind that they won't honor it when the shit is wrong. You'll still have the lifetime warrantee. And you can't put a price on that kind of peace of mind!

    Warrantee is of ZERO concern when I buy a firearm.

    I think most lifetime warranties are conditional, and do not cover natural wear and tear, which makes sense. I think the warranty is to protect the consumer from defects like cracked forgings or defective barrels from manufacturing processes....

    Tommy: Here's the way I see it, Ted. Guy puts a fancy guarantee on a box 'cause he wants you to fell all warm and toasty inside.

    Ted Nelson, Customer: Yeah, makes a man feel good.

    Tommy: 'Course it does. Why shouldn't it? Ya figure you put that little box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come by and leave a quarter, am I right, Ted?
    [chuckles until he sees that Ted is not laughing too]

    Ted Nelson, Customer: [impatiently] What's your point?

    Tommy: The point is, how do you know the fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? "Building model airplanes" says the little fairy; well, we're not buying it. He sneaks into your house once, that's all it takes. The next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser, and your daughter's knocked up. I seen it a hundred times.

    Ted Nelson, Customer: But why do they put a guarantee on the box?

    Tommy: Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of shit. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from me.

    Ted Nelson, Customer: [pause] Okay, I'll buy from you.
    And there it is...

    I'm not saying that a warranty is a reason to pick one brand over another.
    I'm just saying that it IS plausible that Colt DOES offer a lifetime warranty (and stand by it), given the example of Springfield.
    Yes, Springfield has had some QC issues, but most of their rifles are trouble-free, and they tend to do a good job of making problems right when they crop up.
    It IS a bit of peace of mind to know that you can send a weapon back to its maker if you have a problem with it.
