Have been meaning to ask this for awhile, so as to poll the assembled minds so to speak..
What kind of barrel life (defined in terms of round count) should i expect from a RIA, Metro, or similar factory barrel?? I have a Metro AC-II that will be at or over 20K mark before the end of the year. based on a conservative estimate of 200rds a month and i've had it 8 years this month (some months the gun hasn't been shot, but there were a few months where I put over a two thousand through it) So I'm begining to wonder if I should be thinking of a replacement relatively soon, or if it should have another 8 year of life left.
Thank you for your time and any advice you care to share
