1,500 rounds is not much at all. I believe some people shoot more than that at a weekend carbine course.

Just broken in...Comment

God I would hope not. I would have to stop shooting due to new barrel costs.Comment

As soon as you reach the 1,500 mark I will take it off your hands.
Some people shoot that in one weekend. No worries. Modern barrels can last many thousands of rounds, especially high quality barrels.Last edited by chim-chim7; 01-07-2012, 2:31 AM.Comment

I would only start to lowball if the barrel had 10 times that count.WTB: French & Finnish firearms. WTS: raw honey, tumbled .45 ACP brass, stupid cat.Comment

1500 rounds would be equivalent to 15,000 miles on a new Toyota. It should easily last 20x that in a normal life.
If it's a varmint rifle or tack driver, expect accuracy to decrease over time, but if you're slinging lead at zombies, it will still be perfectly functional for your needs at that point.

I don't think it's nice,...you laughing.
You see, my mule don't like people laughing.
He gets the crazy idea you're laughing at him.
Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to,
I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.Comment

If a Noveske anything fails before 40,000 rounds I'd be surprised.My posts are my own opinion and reflect no official positions of anyone other than myself.Comment

What about it? It'll be fine for 1500 rounds(it'll probably be fine for 15,000).
The only time a barrel is going to last less than 5,000 rounds, is some cabliers for some precision barrels that start to shoot "bad" groups(still sub moa) after a couple thousand rounds, and 5.56/.223 isn't one of those.Comment

i have 12k rounds of wolf ammo threw my ar15. still shooting good.Comment

add a ZERO and that's less than what I have through a DPMS barrel that cost me $130 new... your noveske sure as heck better be able to handle more than that
ps, I shot 1420 rounds of M855 through it... todayyou don't rise to the occasion,
you just fall back on your level of training.Comment
