It's a Rifle not a Rafale, that too an extremely simple one. Another set of barrel and bolt is all the lifetime spares it needs.Through life support and spares would be priced into the deal (as is the case in almost every single defence deal these days) so there would be extensive spares, warrenties, support packages etc. It would all add up. Generally the life cycle cost model assumes 3-4 times the unit price over its life span.
