Had no luck searching, but I was just wondering what is the general consensus of when a rifle barrel is "worn out" and needing replacing?
For instance, if you have a generic AR with a chrome lined barrel, or...
a generic AR with a NON chrome lined barrel, or...
even a pistol caliber rifle, like a Sub 2000, 9mm AR, or even a HiPoint, or the like?
Assuming you never using any corrosive or steel cased ammo, and only FMJ...
Just curious...
I saw a show yesterday on the Sportsman Channel and a guy had a 2nd Gen Sub 2000 that he said he'd ran 13,000 rounds through it, and had only cleaned it twice...Is that expected, normal, or a minority?
Would the guesstimate be different for a range toy/plinker, versus a hunting rifle that might only fire 2 shots a year? I mean, that guy may consider 1,000 rounds through his high dollar rifle, in it's lifetime, a lot...
