[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2359716, member: 116439"] I remember years ago when the US Government put out requirements for Military rifles" M-16" 5.56X45 the requirement was in the tens of thousands for barrel life. The US Secret Service recently put out for a new Service Rifle the uses 5.56X45 US Military spec. for their department use. they also have a requirement that "The barrel shall have a minimum service life of 15,000 rounds. Barrel service life is defined as a not exceeding 5 Minutes-of-Angle (MOA) and exhibiting no more than 125 ft/sec decrease in velocity (in accordance with USSS velocity testing procedures), with observance of offeror's submitted maintenance protocols." I guess that you can get a lot of rounds down a tube before tossing. Big difference for a hunting or target rifle. The original post states "inconsistent groups at 100 yards and measured velocities with a deviation of almost 500 fps." If it was my rifle, I would not put any time or money into it. If the action and stock was still good, I might rebarrel it otherwise get a new rifle. [/QUOTE]
