RE: BARREL WEAR
really don't know how many.I do know when I first started to shoot,I didn't really clean it like I should have. when I would get it out , there would be signs of rust in the barrel. that may have had effect on the ware. I don't think it had that much or they would have said something at T/C. it was never left for more than a week at a time.we shoot all the time.
I do know it was in the range of 30,000 to 40,000 shots.I use to shoot every weekend ,Sat. and Sun.we had a good range and several of us would compete and try all the fancy shots and stuff.we even tried the axe on the target,trying to split a ball.I cut a sliver off a ball one time in all my years.we would try to strick the old kitchen matches.we did do that a time or two.we would take plastic coke bottles and shoot through the opening and hit the bottom without hitting the opening.you know all those trick shots.
just having fun for years.
so I can't really say on the #;a bunch.
