I know that there are a lot of possible variations in materials and finishes to make this question difficult to answer, but assuming a quality combat style rifle and components to milspec, what is the average lifespan of the majority of the components in an ar15? I hear alot about barrel life being about 10,000-15,000 rounds, but what about BCG? Buffer and tube? LPK? How about a forged receiver? What about springs and magazines?
Along with assuming a milspec rifle, let's also assume a well maintained civilian gun that does mostly plinking with cheap brass ammo and maybe a. Couple of carbine courses over it's lifespan.
