Is the correct answer. So the "youngest" design is 40+ years old. They have had minimal development costs for at least 40 years on their youngest model. It is a very different matter to develop one from scratch now it would not make economic sense even if a hundred of you handed AA a grand each and said make me a break barrel pretty please!
