[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 482429, member: 1521"] What's often generalized, to outright missed in discussion, is the qualifiers. There ALWAYS are.. There are atleast three directly related to barrel life: 1. How you define barrel death 2. The rate of fire 3. The heat, duration of it, and pressure, released on a given area, with each shot With this in an extreme, you could wipe out(for use by some) a 223, in under 1,000rds. It is very possible, and I've seen it at my range. I've seen red hot smoking barrels, with bits of rifling dropping out of flash hider holes. I picked up a piece and talked to a shooter who thought like many so far. But his gun still served it's purpose(assault), and that's qualifier #1. [/QUOTE]
