I know folks, that are top line shooters, that have run the guns all year, meaning likely a new barrel is next, 5000 to 10000 rounds... without doing any more than wiping the BCG off and putting a bit of lube on it again, every 1500 rounds or so...

I never thought about cleaning my match guns until 300 rounds were down the tube...

I've never owned a piston gun

I can count on my hand how many times a DI gun failed me and the reasons were always an ammo boo boo on my part.

I counted once how many rounds we think we went through while shooting DI guns.... Lets just say 20,000 rounds a year give or take, and for sure at least 10 years, and maybe 11-12 if you count in various tests at times before swappping totally away from the M14

We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
