| What kind of life expectancy? I dont blast or do mag dumps, maybe 100rnds or so weekly. I replaced a 1:9 c/l with a 1:8 s/s for accuracy. I put on a WOA SDM 20" . |

Depends on who you ask.
A match shooter might only get 2500 rounds out of one before he feels that accuracy diminishes enough to replace it. A casual shooter could get 6000-8000 rounds before he notices any decline in performance. I've got a barrel with 5600+ rounds through it and it will still keep five shots within the size of a quarter at 100 yards with my best handloads and match bullets. They way you describe your shooting, you'll likely never wear it out. |
