I've probably got <1K through my AR-10. I think it's still getting "broken in" as well.
My Armalite M15A4 has several thousand through it, and it's SLICK.
My Marvel .22 conversion took at least 1K to break in. Probably not quite there yet, actually.

The highest round count gun I have is my first 10/22. I bought it in the spring 1978. My best friend and I started hunting prairie dogs that summer. By the following summer we were in full swing shooting 500 rds (a brick) a piece each day we went out. We went out twice a week. :twisted: This continued through 1980 before he left for the Corps. Call peak shooting season 10 weeks long, and we were out year round but of course didn't shoot that much in the off peak season, that's still 10,000 a summer. For 3 summers. That's a heap.....
I've never had to do any repairs to that rifle. His Marlin Model 60 died in the first couple of months. [roll] He replaced it with a 10/22. :idea:
Who knows how many rounds my mil-surps have through them? My Garand was wearing a mostly wore out SA 5-45 barrel when I got it. And my post war Enfield No4mk1 is wearing a brand new South African barrel. How many commies do you have to shoot to wear out a barrel? [50cal]
If it's killin' commies or capable of the same it ain't wore out...Quote:

Hey colorado osprey thanks for the info very informative. I've heard on the shotgun boards how the russian O/U are built like tanks, and wow, you proved it. Sad to see the taurus not do so well.
My Taurus tracker 357 magnum has shot about 5,000 rounds and so far the orange sticker for the front sight blade fell off, cylinder somtimes loses index, rear sight pin is loose and drifts out by itself, grip is worn out. However, still very accurate and trigger pull is better.
My 10/22 is quite old. I have had it at somewher around 25 years... never bothered to count how many rounds went through it....many, many thousands though.
I still love that thing. That was my first gun...
I have a p89 that is probably around 25K without ever having a problem.
