i learned something a few days ago at Randy's place. the life of the barrel is actually the wear on the throat. all you have to do it rethread and re-ream the barrel, and wallah good as new again. the end result would be a shortened barrel, about 1/2-1 inch. he said it'll take alot more than several thousand rounds to wear out the rifling.
