I don't quite know how to phrase this because I'm not looking to start a caliber war, so I won't mention a specific caliber or I'll just pick one.
What would happen if tomorrow they quit making .30 Carbine ( for example)? What happens to all those guns out there chambered for that round?
Do they become overnight paperweights?
I realize there are hundreds of thousands of M-1 carbines out there but I think it's a good example because only one company (that I know of) is making them.
So to restate the question;
If .30 Carbine dies as a cartridge tomorrow what happens ? Do the rifles become obsolete overnight?
Has such ever happened? are there guns out there for which no one makes cartridges?
