[QUOTE="orkan, post: 2097439, member: 25377"] Testing was performed over a period of roughly 3 years. I wanted the results to more accurately reflect the "average shooter" and their more realistic firing schedule. Hence why I have been doing it with several different rifles... so I don't get the round count too high too quickly. The 6 dasher in this test is coming up on 1400rnds since cleaned, and the .223AI is around 800. (I need to shoot it more) All rifles were kept in 70° open air or walk-in vault during that time. Avg humidity of probably 40% for the past year and closer to 60% the 2 years prior. I also made double sure to let them sit for extended periods of time without being cleaned. Each winter they'd basically get shelved while I was shooting coyotes with 22 Creedmoor... ;) So they've sat 6 months to nearly a year at a time without being touched. Then I'd take them out and hammer rounds through them to see how they reacted. [/QUOTE]
