Reliability

I was talking to an industry rep a few years back and he told me the flinters of today(especially the TC) has a very good reliability rate..mainly because of the steel used in the newer flinters and the quality of the flints available. He said the reilability factor was approaching 95%....but of course in good weather. I was amazed at that number. He also said that some of the foreign made replicas were not any better than guns of the past. He also said that high number was in the hands of modern day experts..which I am not!! And doubt I could ever be.
